Environmental Effects on Intrusion Detection Systems

Description

ERDC has developed methods for determining the effects of weather and terrain on exterior intrusion detection systems (IDSs) to improve their effectiveness and accuracy. Diurnal and seasonal variations in site conditions, the less predictable changes caused by storms, and the sensor-specific impacts of winter conditions all affect IDS reliability.
