security threat deterrence or interdiction.
With Vector, you establish a Quantasphere around
your asset, which is a zone of awareness that extends beyond the hard perimeter in all directions,
irrespective of line-of-sight constraints.
In turn, this builds a defense-in-depth posture that
makes a good system better by providing early
awareness of potential threats. It also provides
“pattern of life” analysis, which integrate activities
across both time and space to provide indicators
of historical or future threat activity around all of
your assets, simultaneously.
Quantum’s intrusion detection solution has three
dimensional 360º detection and classification
capability to alert to human footsteps, vehicles,
gunshots and digging. Vibrations in the earth are
converted to signals by each sensor and are immediately analyzed in real-time automatically.
The icons show the state of health of each seismic acoustic
sensor and the type of each potential threat source detected.
The sensors don’t require line-of-sight with the
signal source to detect it. When the system determines that the vibrations are from a programmed
signal of interest, such as human footsteps, the
system immediately transmits (wired or wireless)
an alert message to the user interface. Each alert
message informs the user which sensor generated
the alert, the type of signal detected, and ancillary
information like state of health.
The Quantum Technology Sciences Single Channel System meets the demand for persistent
movement monitoring, intrusion detection and situational awareness. This easy-to-install, low visibility system gives real-time alerts when human
footsteps, vehicle movement or digging are present in the vicinity of one or more seismic-acoustic
sensors.
Based on a nodal approach, each system includes
a single processing node, a single concealable

sensor, cabling, and power supply. This single channel system delivers the only situational awareness
solution with a three dimensional 360º detection sensitivity in air, water and the earth.
Vector’s innovative, patented ground sensor technology automatically delivers actionable time and space to facilitate proactive response for physical security threat deterrence or interdiction.
Vibrations in the earth are gathered by the motion
sensor and are analyzed immediately and automatically by the node. The sensor has an extended
sensitivity range and does not require line of sight
to its detected potential threat. If the system determines that the vibrations are from a selected potential threat source, for instance human footsteps,
the node immediately notifies, by wireless or wired
means, a remote base station or monitoring device.
The notification includes the node identity and the
type of potential threat detected.
Multiple nodes can be serviced by a single monitoring device, where the user interface is installed. Customer needs dictate the monitoring device such as
a command center computer, remote laptop, digital
assistant, or an existing security architecture.
The Single Channel System is a source of situational
awareness when deployed at a boundary around a
private property site, a valued industrial asset, a military or government property, a component of a critical public infrastructure, such as pipelines or pumping or power stations, or as a country’s border. It may
function as a stand-alone product, or may be integrated with other products built by Quantum Technology Sciences or by other manufacturers.
System installation is handled by a Quantum certified installer, but may be done by the owner/user.
The installer digs a small hole, approximately 6” in
diameter and 12” deep, places the sensor at the bottom of the hole, and refills the hole, packing dirt tightly around the sensor. Unlike many traditional types of
ground sensors, the sensor does not need to be accurately vertical, simplifying deployment. The node
