Telephonics’ radar technology to support US border patrol agents

Griffon subsidiary Telephonics has been selected to provide technological solution for the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to maintain the integrity of its borders near Nogales, Arizona, US.

As a first phase of the US CBP’s Integrated Fixed Towers (IFT) programme, Telephonics will introduce Radar and Video Enforcement Network (RaVEN) to meet the CBP IFT requirements, according to Asd News.

Telephonics Corporation president and CEO Joseph Battaglia said that the team along with logistics and infrastructure support contractors will design and install RaVEN to support the US Border Patrol Agents.

"With RaVEN we will greatly enhance the safety and detection capabilities of CBP with this outstanding new integrated solution," Battaglia added.

Border Patrol Agents will use RaVEN to enhance situational awareness while providing a clear picture of the US Borders.
RaVEN will also ensure a rapid execution of the first phase of the CBP’s Arizona Southwest Border Initiative.

Telephonics will partner with logistics and infrastructure support contractors to install, integrate and develop RaVEN systems along the US border while providing a reliable, modular, and ruggedized tower design for the CBP environment.

The commercial-off-the-shelf product, RaVEN will be fully responsive to CBP requirements and will be developed based on the understanding of the requirements and lessons learned by Telephonics while working with CBP agents.
