EPSI, in collaboration with INEO E&S, is equipping French airports with the PSR radar system to ensure safety in PCZSAR zones
The French specialist in continuous-wave radar surveillance systems is partnering with INEO E&S, an Equans France subsidiary with expertise in the civil aviation sector, to meet the security needs of sensitive restricted-access areas (PCZSAR) at French airports.
After securing various OIV sites in the defense and energy sectors, industrial sites, and event security, the intrusion detection radar system developed by EPSI once again demonstrates its capabilities and expands into a new field of application.
The first French airports equipped with PSR technology to secure their PCSZAR zones
The PCZSAR zone, which is primarily designated for aircraft parking at airports and may be accessed by the public, is a monitored “sensitive” area. Its security measures are comparable to those of a Critical Infrastructure Operator (CIO); as such, it is regulated by the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) and must be foolproof.
The collaboration between INEO E&S, an expert in turnkey solutions for civil aviation and airports in France and internationally, and EPSI, through its radar technology designed to protect sensitive sites, has made it possible to efficiently address this critical need for French airports. As an expert in interoperability, INEO E&S successfully connected and integrated the EPSI radar with existing client systems, including the video solutions already in place (intrusion detection, alarms), to address the airport’s operational and security challenges.
“ "This is the first time that French airports have equipped their PCZSAR zones with continuous-wave radar technology. This technology fully meets the requirements of the airport sector, which necessitates 24-hour surveillance in all weather conditions." ”
