Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS)
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is an acoustic and seismic sensing capability that uses simple fibre optic communications cables as the sensor. The system works by converting a single optical fibre into tens of thousands of individual highly-sensitive vibrational sensors. Using existing or new cables, it can provide low-cost and high-reliability surface crossing and tunnel construction detection, with power and communications services needed only every 80-100 km. The technology has been proven in worldwide security operations at over one hundred locations in a variety of industries including oil and gas pipelines, railways, and high-value facility perimeters. The system reliably detects a variety of border threats with very few nuisance alarms. It can work in concert with existing border surveillance technologies to provide security personnel a new value proposition for fighting trans-border crime.
