“…We consider an RSN composed of K low-cost radars (for instance, COTS marine radars with each antenna mounted on a tower or a mast [3]) operating over the same bandwidth for the surveillance of a certain critical area. Each radar can independently decide on the presence of a target and send its decision to the control center that takes a decision once the information coming also from all other sensors is collected.…”

In this work, we propose a distributed power control algorithm able to capture the tradeoff between detection capabilities and power consumption for a radar sensor network. This is achieved by modeling the radar sensors as rational agents engaging in a noncooperative game in which the detection threshold and the transmit power are properly designed according to the Nash equilibrium solution. An iterative algorithm based on a best-response dynamics is proposed to achieve the equilibrium point and its performance is compared to that achieved by a uniform power allocation.

“…The use of satellite and radar as a means of alternative communication in the event of critical infrastructure problems is identified by Taggart [12] and Weber [13] respectively. In each of these studies, a particular application of the technology is examined, which allows for an in-depth understanding of the system to occur, but for disaster planning, it does not provide an over-arching view of the technology solutions being used together.…”

Public awareness of national security has increased significantly since September 11, 2001. Literature has discussed ways to respond or prevent breaches of National security with some of these methods employing information technologies, including Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Global Positioning System (GPS). Other studies have focused on the privacy impact the proposed solutions will have. This research examines the technologies under the umbrella of Location-Based Services (LBS). The preliminary findings of this research indicate that the broader notion of LBS is what needs to be focused on in order to understand the impact that they are having in the effort to ensure national security.

“…Various techniques such as infrared [1], radar [2], microwave [3], electric fence [4], accelerometer [5], and fiber optic have been adopted to implement the PIDS. Among them, PIDSs using fiber optic interferometric sensors are of interest since they have plenty advantages, such as lightweight, immunity to electromagnetic interference and multiplexing, high-temperature performance, low energy requirement, high corrosion resistance, high environmental resistance, high sensitivity, water proof, and so on.…”

This paper aims to provide an overview of the dual Mach-Zehnder interferometric perimeter intrusion detection system (DMZIPIDS), propose a simulation model for the system, and give advice on the design of the system in accordance with simulation results. In this paper, the basic optical phase modulation mechanisms in optical fibers are described at first to clearly elaborate how the system works. Then, an introduction to the system, including its system structure, theory of operation, and noise sources as well as polarization-induced effects in the system, is described. A noise-involved and MATLAB-based simulation model of the system is proposed in order to predict the performance and study the characteristics of the system. Simulation results are presented and discussed.
