1. Panther II Buried Cable Intrusion Detection Sensor
Intelligent - Adaptive - Covert - Secure

2. Panther II - Basics
Panther II detects intruders with an invisible electromagnetic detection field using ported coax sensor cables and electronics.
Characteristics
Panther II directly responds to specific human intruder characteristics - size, motion and electromagnetic profile
high Probability of Detection (Pd) >99%
Small animals and environmental effects have a much smaller electromagnetic profile and are disregarded
assures low False/Nuisance Alarm Rate (FAR/NAR)
Wide velocity response, high Pd and covertness
provide very low Vulnerability to Defeat.

3. Panther II - Sensing Concept
Panther II processor transmits an “RF” signal via the center conductor of one sensor cable (TX)
RF signal “leaks” out through a “port” in the cable
A second sensor cable acts as a receiver (RX)
RF energy produces an electromagnetic field around both cables:
volumetric & invisible
along the length of the zone
above and below ground
1 m (3.3 ft.) high and up to 3 m (10 ft.) wide
up to 150 m (500 ft.) long
A single processor covers two zones:
Total perimeter up to 300 m (1000 ft.)

4. Panther II: How human intruders are detected
Humans have large electromagnetic profiles at the RF wavelength transmitted by the processor
Humans moving through the field significantly change the RF signal
TX and RX signals (phase and amplitude) are compared by the processor
processor declares an alarm when a preset threshold is exceeded
Other moving objects with large electro-magnetic profiles will also be detected
e.g., cars, trucks, aircraft

5. Panther II - Why FAR/NAR is naturally low
False alarms are usually equipment generated
Panther II uses field proven detection algorithms and environmentally tested electronics
Nuisance alarms sources are typically small animals and environment
Panther II does not detect small animals and environmental effects because they have small electromagnetic profiles
Panther II completely ignores environmental stimuli that have no electromagnetic profile – grass, sunlight, wind, shadows etc.

6. Panther II - Why VD is very low
Panther II has an invisible detection field
if the sensor cannot be seen it is difficult to determine its location, its sensing technology, and hence, is more difficult to defeat
Panther II has a very wide velocity range
extends from 0.02 to 15 m/s (0.008 to 49 ft./sec.)
widest range of any sensor
Combined effect of high PD, wide velocity range and covertness ensures low VD
better than any other outdoor sensor

7. Panther II - Sensor Cables
SC1 - transmit and receive cables are in one cable jacket
single trench for standard detection field
high density polyethylene jacket with flooding compounds
rugged, abrasion and chemical resistant
standard lengths:
100, 150 m (328, 492 ft)
cut cable to the desired zone length
Additional Lead-in: 50 m (164 ft)
burial depths:
soil - 23 cm (9 in), concrete - 6 cm (2.5 in)
SC1

8. Panther II - Application Considerations
Panther II can be buried in virtually any type of material
sand, clay, topsoil, rock, concrete, asphalt
buried 23 cm (9 in) in soft materials; 6 cm (2.5 in) in hard materials
Panther II can be installed in most any type of terrain
flat, hilly, around corners
Surface may include lawns (including sprinkler systems), crushed stone, including landscaped areas with shrubs, flowers and trees

9. Panther II: Open Perimeters
Total active perimeter length up to 300 m (1000 ft.)
Lead-in from the perimeter to the processor up to 50 m (164 ft.)

10. Panther II: Closed Perimeters
Total active perimeter length up to 300 m (1000 ft.)
Lead-in from the perimeter to the processor up to 50 m (164 ft.)

11. Panther II - Application Guidelines
Panther II is designed for the optimum security clear zone width of 6 m (20 ft)
Sensor cables may be located as close as 3 m (10 ft.) from chain link fences and buildings with normal soils
or closer to rigid weld-mesh or palisade fencing
Sensor cables should avoid puddles or streams
water movement could cause nuisance alarms
Sensor cables should be located 5 m (16 ft) from roads to avoid detecting large vehicles
Microwave or infrared sensors are often used at gate zones

12. Panther II™ Clearances

13. Panther II: Application Guidelines (continued)
Sensor cables may cross large non-metallic water pipes by shielding area with sheet metal
Sensor cables may be installed in areas with high voltage power lines (e.g., 400 kV) and where radar and communications devices are located (e.g., airports, military installations)
Panther II operates in a non-communications band
In high lightning incidence areas, external gas discharge lightning arrestors are recommended to further protect electronics
CCTV or other visual means of alarm assessment is highly recommended to confirm alarms and required level of response
