Arizona patrols to acquire border sensor technology

Carolyn Hileman | April 7, 2007 

The Homeland Security Department plans to give Border Patrol agents in Arizona new technology this month as part of the first phase of its Secure Border Initiative, moving the effort one step closer to becoming fully operational in June, according to agency officials and documents. The department has completed testing a prototype 98-foot tall mobile sensor tower, a critical component of SBInet, which is the department’s multi-billion dollar effort to gain operational control of the nation’s borders. The towers will hold an array of sensors, cameras and communications nodes, becoming a central part of giving Border Patrol agents improved situational awareness, or what is commonly referred to as a “common operating picture.”
