Illegal Immigration

The illegal immigration is a global border problem

Italy, Libya join forces to stem illegal migrants

Nearly 10,000 illegal immigrants landed on Italian shores in 2004

The Need For a Border Surveillance System

The nations differences in richness is a major factor for the increasing illegal immigration (graph showing the nations differences between per capita income and buying power)

� The traditional surveillance, trough patrols distributed along the border, occupies most of the time the large part of the resources available

� The biggest effort goes to the surveillance part of the process

� An Electronic Surveillance System, with automatic detection and follow up, makes it possible to manage the load of the resources, applying these ones into more productive tasks/processes

� The image fusion processes offers the user one unique presentation of the operational theatre

� An intelligent information data gathering is made from:

� Two similar sensors located in different localizations

� Two distinct sensors (radar / DF / ESM / Video)

� The system generates a unique vision of the object/track:

� All the object/track data is accessible as a unique set of information

� All the actions taken on the object/track are managed as a all

� An Efficient Coast Border Surveillance System delivers the right tools for decision making:

�Detection phase:� Presentation of the sensor data (real time and historic)

� Predefinition of alarms based on type of track, localization in an alert zone, etc.

� Interception phase:� Course forecast, futures courses and potentials destinations points

� Indication of the “best” operation resource available for interception

� Automatic pursue of targets

04 Securing the Portuguese Coast Border: Ideas

21 / 23

Securing the Portuguese Coast Border: Ideas

� Characterization of the Portugal borders:

� Terrestrial border is with a Schengen State

� Air border is by definition a non intrusion border

� In the coast boarder, there is in the short term the prediction in the increase of illegal activities

� In October 2007, the Andalucía Spanish Coast will be integrally secured with the latest technology surveillance systems

� Therefore, is urgent for Portugal to deploy highest levels of coast border control based on:

� Deployment of a Surveillance System

�Organize the operational corps and provide new detection/interception equipment

22 / 23


� Portugal should adopt a Coast Border Electronic Surveillance System

� Effort should be made in taking advantage of the infrastructures already available (communications, VTS sites)

� The priority should be securing the south coast, due to probable increases of illegal activities, mainly smuggling

Deployment a Surveillance System

23 / 23


� Strength operational cooperation between distinct police forces

� Gain higher level of mobility for identification process

� Integrate future satellite data

Organize the operational corps and provide new detection/interception equipment
