During the Milipol exhibition, Villepinte Paris, November 19th-22nd 2019, Exensor a subsidiary of Bertin Technologies (CNIM Group) announces the signing of a major contract with the Polish Ministry of Defense, a key step into the Eastern European strategic market.

Following a call for tenders, Exensor, together with its Polish partner Siltec, won the contract for the supply of 116 sets of UGS systems including logistics and training services. The systems will be designated to Reconnaissance and Intelligence forces in order to conduct mission critical operations. The total contract value exceeds 15 million euros and the ordered systems will be delivered within 2019-2022 time frame.

As an international leader in design, development and supply of Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) networks, Exensor’s Flexnet provides a fully integrated and wireless sensor platform operating over a self-healing Mesh Radio Network, controlled through a user-friendly Command and Control platform. Flexnet is a Force Multiplier offering a multi-mission capability, suitable for several types of missions including persistent wide area surveillance, force protection and intelligence gathering.

Exensor will supply to the Polish Armed Forces a completely integrated and scalable sensor and camera UGS platform including the latest version of the UMRA Mini seismic and acoustic sensor with replaceable battery as well as the tactical Scout motion camera equipped with Bertin’s CamSight LP Thermal Imaging camera module. “The collaboration with Exensor has been a success and we expect to continue and strengthen our cooperation for the years to come” says Daniel Mieniewski, Chief Operations Officer at Siltec.

“Exensor’s team always aims to exceed the expectations of our customers. This is reflected in our core vision & values and is an integral part of our daily work” says Marcus Rosenqvist, Vice President Sales & Marketing at Exensor Technology. “We won this contract with the Polish Armed Forces in strong competition with major international UGS solution providers, marking the strategic position of Exensor in providing surveillance and reconnaissance systems.”

Miniaturized wireless seismic & acoustic sensor, the UMRA mini range of sensors uses advanced algorithms to automatically detect and classify human activities and vehicle motion on the ground. It provides real time snapshot images while limiting false alarm signal. Easy to deploy and cover, the UMRA sensors feature a high performance while keeping its size and weight to a minimum

PIR (Picture source: Bertin Technologies)

Small and easy to deploy, the Mesh PIR is a passive thermal infrared sensor able to detect motion by detecting thermal infrared radiation. The advanced algorithms will filter out false alarms and classify the direction of the moving target. The PIR sensor is equipped with a built-in radio and GPS. It is available in short, medium and long range configuration. The Mesh PIR has storage capacity for thousands of alarms. The storage is used in radio silence mode or when the communication is disturbed.

SCOUT Camera (Picture source: Bertin Technologies)

Small and rapidly deployed, the Scout camera is a smart remote imager that instantly detects any movement thanks to its sophisticated motion detection algorithms. The camera provides day and night images or video clip of the target over the Mesh network. The sensor can be equipped with two camera heads (thermal and Low Light) and various lenses for even more precision and control on snapshots.
