A naval base is a military base, where warships and/or nuclear submarines are docked when they have no mission at sea, need to restock or may undergo repairs. These bases are extremely critical and their open sea front constitutes a vulnerable path for terrorists and commandos.
Given their strategic importance and inherent vulnerabilities, a naval base employs a comprehensive array of protective measures. Not only do they safeguard the nation’s maritime assets, but they also serve as key operational hubs, facilitating logistical, command, and control functions. The need for impenetrable security is imperative, ensuring that vessels and personnel are shielded from any external threats.

The 360° fully integrated thermal imaging surveillance solution provided by HGH SPYNEL sensors will help the naval base to better address its security challenges.
The versatile range of SPYNEL 360 IR cameras allows to fit any type of naval bases. Depending on the areas to secure and the criticality of the base, different SPYNEL models can be used.
Typical protected assets include naval bases, sub-marines’ bases and shipyards. SPYNEL provides real-time situational awareness, day and night, 24/7, and especially long-range surveillance of port entry and coasts as well as short range surveillance of docks inside the port. The integrated CYCLOPE software detects, tracks and classifies automatically using artificial intelligence and AIS plug-in any threats over 360°. The alarm management module allows the user to set multiple detection zones to be alerted upstream if a potential threat is approaching. The AIS plug-in provides ship information and triggers an alarm in case an unauthorized boat is detected.
The passive technology brings significant advantages for naval base surveillance to remain insensitive to jamming and to avoid any explosion or fire risk which could be generated by a radar technology. Finally, SPYNEL infrared sensors can be used as a counter-drone solution allowing to anticipate any asymmetrical assault thanks to their large field-of-view.
For naval bases, sub-marines’ bases and shipyards, SPYNEL exceeds their expectations in terms of advanced detection capabilities in congested environment and versatility of the solution to be adapted to any type of naval base configuration.
The main security challenge of the naval base is the early warning of any potential threats approaching the asset. Whatever the configuration of the base, these ones often present a congested environment with numerous ships, making the surveillance difficult. Unique capabilities of SPYNEL 360 wide area surveillance solution for naval base protection include:
HGH is a electro-optical devices global provider. The company provides wide area surveillance, industrial thermography and electro-optical test solutions.
