Powerful microwave radar products in Israel are to be installed in parks and nature reserves of southern Italy to counter the landings of migrants. The new network of radar sensors depth for coastal surveillance will be integrated to the system of command, control, communications, computer and information (C4I) of the Financial Police. Thanks to the resources of the "European External Borders Fund, Framework Programme 2007-08 against migration, the General Command of armed force has bought five sophisticated EL/M-2226 ACSR ( Advanced Coastal Surveillance Radar ) Developed by Elta Systems, a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI). The radars are specially designed to detect small fast boats. "The high-resolution images captured by the system - inform the manager of the Israeli war - are used to prevent illegal immigration and illegal fishing, drug trafficking, terrorist attacks and smuggling missions to carry out search and rescue ; to locate target aircraft, ships, submarines, radar signals from antennas.
The EL / M-2226 has a capacity of over 50 kilometers, located at sea level, is in grado di scoprire uno scafo veloce a 10 miglia o un gommone a 7. “Il duplice esame ottico e all’infrarosso degli obiettivi sospetti scoperti dal radar ne consentono la distinzione in leciti o illeciti”, si legge sulle brochure di Elta Systems. “Il sistema è in grado di mantenere sottocontrollo oltre cento bersagli contemporaneamente; il riconoscimento dei gommoni impiegati nell’immigrazione clandestina avviene con l’analisi, per ogni natante avvistato, della velocità, rotta, provenienza, dimensioni, riconoscimento del numero di persone a bordo. Opera 24 ore al giorno, 365 giorni all’anno, anche in condizioni climatiche particolarmente avverse, in network con altri tipi di sensori installati su imbarcazioni ships, planes and helicopters. "
Israeli society also provides some data on the technical features of the latest generation of powerful anti-immigrant. "The EL / M-2226 is part of the family of transmitters Linear Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (LFMCW) in X-band (8 to 12.5 GHz frequency), namely those that operate by emitting microwaves, very short waves ranging from 300 MHz to 300 GHz, which is extremely dangerous to humans, fauna and flora. "The exposure azimuthal angle is 1.5 °, while the height is 3.5 °," said Elta Systems. "The system configuration was developed in the short, medium and long-range and incorporates a fixed antenna, a radio transmitter, a receiver, a signal processor and a control unit and computer management. The network of different radar systems can be easily controlled by a single command center / remote VTMS. The EL / M-2226 has been installed along the Israeli coast and integrated maritime defense network will be strengthened with five more powerful radar stations. The Israeli navy has used this system in January 2002 to locate the boat in the Red Sea Palestinian Kareen A carrying weapons. " Now is the turn of Italy against migrants and refugees fleeing conflicts in Africa and the Middle East.
Though the General Command of the Guardia di Finanza maintain the confidentiality of the five selected locations to install microwave radar, three of them are known. These Gagliano del Capo (Lecce), Syracuse and the island of S. Antioco Sardinia. In Salento the plant will be built in a plot of 300 square meters located between the towns "Sciuranti" and "Salanar", within the perimeter of park Otranto - Santa Maria di Leuca - Forest Tricase. In Sicily, the radar will be installed at Cape Murro di Porco at the lift station sewer of the City of Syracuse, the area under constraint and archaeological landscape and overlooking the oasis of marine protected Plemmirio established in 2005. The third plant will be built instead in former military radio station owned Sant'Antioco de lla Sardinia, in the Capo Sperone - On Monti de su Semaforu . This is a beautiful coastal area falling in the park "coal and Sulcitana Islands, where there are also buildings of particular significance in terms of historical, cultural and architecture.
In all three places, the radar antenna will be mounted atop towers 36 meters high, will be carried out extensive concrete platforms, shelters and cabins for containing the transmission equipment. The works were tendered on October 22, 2010 to "Almaviva SpA in Rome, the main Italian group consulting and IT services (Information & Communication Technology ) for the government, security organizations, banks, etc. .. For a total of € 5,461,700, Almaviva will ensure the installation and maintenance of five radar equipment and training "through four courses," the staff of the Guardia di Finanza. L ' contract was awarded by the General Command of the GDF and the call without the prior publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, on the grounds that "the work and services can be provided only by a certain supplier, the Almaviva SpA, which owns the technical requirements and reserved rights of the materials. "
With an annual turnover of 865 million €, Roman society was very active in the field of defense and security. Oltre alla Guardia di finanza, tra i suoi clienti compaiono la NATO , lo Stato Maggiore della difesa, l’Aeronautica militare, la Marina militare, l’Arma dei Carabinieri e il Dipartimento di pubblica sicurezza. “Collaboriamo con le forze di polizia nella gestione della sicurezza in mare, dei confini territoriali e degli aeroporti e nella protezione di infrastrutture sensibili”, spiegano i manager di Almaviva. “Sviluppiamo sistemi di comando, controllo e comunicazioni, di videosorveglianza territoriale e messaggistica, applicazioni per la logistica e il personale, tecnologie e soluzioni biometriche per l’identificazione. Abbiamo messo a punto sistemi C4I, strategici e tattici, per la gestione di operazioni terrestri, aeree e navali, l’integrazione dei servizi di sorveglianza radar ed elettro-ottici e delle informazioni provenienti da varie tipologie di sensori dislocati su piattaforme fisse o mobili”.
Almaviva è uno degli attori privati chiave nel campo delle politiche “sicuritarie” e di contrasto all’immigrazione. Oltre ad aver collaborato con il governo nella realizzazione del “permesso di soggiorno elettronico”, la società partecipa ai progetti previsti dal programma operativo nazionale (PON) “Sicurezza per lo sviluppo - Objective Convergence 2007-2013 " , aimed to" increase the safety and legality in Sicily, Calabria, Campania and Puglia. On April 21, 2010, in consortium with Unisys SpA and Secom Ltd, Almaviva has won the tender called by the Central Directorate of Immigration and Border Police for the realization of a "system of information collection, analysis and monitoring on aimed at coordinating activities to combat illegal immigration across the Mediterranean expanded and land borders (Satmar).
Society Finally, he assured the technological updating and software for the operation of four systems for monitoring coastal MCSS ( Mobile Coastal Surveillance System). These are the configuration of the mobile radar Israeli EL/M-2226 ACSR, which Guard of Finance has deployed in Calabria and Sicily from summer 2008, with funds provided by the European Structural " Operational Safety Program for the development of the Mezzogiorno of Italy - CSF 200/2006. "The complex MCSS, fully set up by the Israeli company IAI-Elta Electronics Industries Ltd. of Ashdod, consists of four elements: the search radar, the system of recognition optronic, the shelter and transport vehicle manufactured by Iveco, "says the command of the GDF. "For their use requires three operators: the clerk to the discovery and recognition, employee communications and the driver of the vehicle. The shelter for the body are installed radio equipment necessary to ensure liaison with operating rooms, transportation, land and naval transport aircraft and radar. The system is safe: it has been tested for radiation protection and within the parameters established in order to emissions of electromagnetic waves. " Do not think so residents of the town of Montallegro in the province of Agrigento. After placing mobile radar in the coastal strip between Bovo Marina and Eraclea Minoa, the inexplicable failure to register on electrical installations, alarm systems and appliances.
