Border Security

Integrated Surveillance Towers combine AI-enabled cameras, radar, thermal imaging, and LiDAR on 33-foot structures for automated detection, identification, and tracking across border terrain. Autonomous ISR drones (Skydio X10D) deploy to detected activity in under 20 seconds providing real-time video and tracking without human pilots. Facial recognition systems (Clearview AI) match detected faces against databases of 60+ billion images for real-time identification in field operations. Dual-sensor radar systems (Axis Communications) provide 180-270 degree field detection combining thermal and visual imaging for day-night surveillance. Automated border control eGates (Thales) process travelers through biometric verification (facial recognition, fingerprint) at ports of entry. Sensor fusion platforms combine data from multiple sensor types into unified operational pictures for border commanders.

Elbit's Integrated Surveillance Towers deploy AI-enabled sensors across the U.S.-Mexico border under a $1.8 billion IDIQ contract for automated detection and tracking. Skydio X10D autonomous drones respond to detected activity in under 20 seconds providing ISR coverage. CBP uses Clearview AI facial recognition with 60+ billion images for tactical targeting and field identification. Thales automated eGates process travelers through biometric verification at ports of entry worldwide. Axis Communications' dual radar and bispectral cameras provide AI-powered perimeter surveillance for border facilities.

The border security market reached $28-50 billion in 2025 at 7.7-10.5% CAGR to $60.9-71.9 billion by 2033-2035. Anduril received $6+ billion in border technology funding through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Elbit holds a $1.8 billion IDIQ with CBP. CBP contracted Clearview AI for $225,000 (15 licenses accessing 60+ billion images). General Dynamics received $20.5 million for surveillance towers. Elbit secured $100+ million in Israeli MoD border contracts.
