Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS)
The current uses of UGS systems revolve around the use of systems of around five sensor
nodes, each with a range of up to 0.5 km and a central data interface, an arrangement
referred to in this study as the ‘tactical spotlighting’ format. Typically, these systems use a
combination of acoustic, seismic, magnetic and passive infrared sensors, whose applications
consist of point surveillance, force protection as well as intelligence, surveillance and recon-
naissance (ISR). Different configurations of sensors are chosen with respect to the conditions
that they are required to operate in with respect to weather and the type of surveillance they
are expected to carry out. Magnetic sensors are used to detect vehicles and personnel
carrying weapons, passive infrared sensors are used for trip wire purposes, while seismic
sensors cannot be used in icy conditions as they have to be buried a certain distance from the
surface of the ground. Another type of sensor that is coming to light is that of through wall
micro radar, which can be used to obtain intelligence on individual rooms and their occu-
pants for use in military operations on urban terrain (MOUT) and hostage situations. Key
attributes that UGS systems need to have are high battery life and low false alarm rates.

The majority of the spending in the market is expected to be from France, Germany, Italy,
Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom. This reflects the uptake of WLR systems in each of
these countries as well as the uptake of remotely deployed, networked UGS systems later in
the forecast period. Spending in France and Germany is also likely to be sustained by their
presence in the total market as the only significant buyers of BFSR systems from 2006-2015.

The AWL systems market is shaped by uptake of systems by France, Germany, Greece, Italy,
Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom, following procurements of weapons-locating radar
systems in these markets. As a result of this, the majority of the spending is expected in
2007-2012, corresponding to the nature of AWL systems as largely supporting systems for
WLR.

The market for UGS is expected to be dominated from 2006-2010 by the uptake of tactical
spotlighting format systems, by Austria, Germany, Greece, The Netherlands and the
United Kingdom. From 2011-2015, the uptake of remotely deployed and networked systems
will come to the fore with the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy,
The Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom
expected to procure the systems.
