Description

The claimed invention "Automated control system of territories and control forces and means of protection" (hereinafter referred to as the System) relates to the technique of centralized control of territories (protection of objects) and can be used to control various land (river, lake) areas of the territory, including protection of objects spaced on the territory.

A number of systems are known for monitoring the situation at objects with remote access, constructed according to a two-level scheme and including an extensive network of alarm sensors (first level), with the possibility of transmitting information about the situation at the protected objects via a various communication channel to a second-level monitoring console.

The well-known system for remote monitoring of objects using Intranet and Internet communication channels according to the US patent [1] consists of many regional monitoring systems for objects monitoring the state of the object and a monitoring interface for a remote operator, including a database that stores information about the characteristics and status of remote protected objects. Using this system, a remote operator can monitor the status of sensors installed at the facility, receive visual information from the facility and manage the equipment installed there using widespread public channels (such as Intranet, Internet).

The disadvantage of the described system is a two-level organization of monitoring the situation at the facility. Emergency information from the first level observation point at the facility is automatically transmitted to the remote operator located at the second level observation point. At the same time, further communication of information to the authorities in whose area of responsibility is the decision on the emergency situation at the facility depends entirely on the actions of the operator and the state of publicly available means and communication channels.

Closest to the proposed technical solution as an invention is the monitoring system according to the Russian patent [2].

The monitoring system contains: an object observation point of the first level, including alarm detectors located on the monitored objects and combined into alarm loops, at least one control panel (PCP), object equipment connected to it, for example video cameras, executive devices, devices user identification, acoustic devices for notifications using tones and voice messages and an uninterruptible power supply included in the control panel, a first-level switch, Making a to transmit a signal carrying information about the state of loops control panel signaling the presence of the connected electrical network and the battery level, the monitoring station of the second level. The second-level console includes a signal processing device (SLD) from the first-level console and a second-level switch, the second-level SLD of the remote control configured to select (isolate) information about distressing situations from the general signal stream coming from the observation point of the first level, extracting information about the coordinates of the object from the database of the second level. At least one third-level monitoring station is additionally introduced into the system, comprising a device for visually displaying information about the situation received from signals received from the first-level monitoring station with a geographical map overlaid on it. The third-level surveillance console is located directly in the government agency, in the area of responsibility of which is the guarded facility.

The described system cannot fully meet the modern requirements for organizing the protection of important objects, because due to the lack of feedback from the third to the first level it does not have the ability to make operational decisions in emergency situations.

The technical result from the use of the proposed invention consists in combining technical means of territorial control (TSCT), improving the management of the protection of territories (objects), increasing the speed of decision-making in emergency situations in controlled territories (protected objects) in the area of responsibility of governing bodies at all levels of the System.

In contrast to the prototype, in order to achieve the claimed technical result in the proposed System, the movement of information flows is carried out automatically (automatically) in two directions: from bottom to top about the state of the current situation in the controlled territories (protected objects) from the TSCT directly located on the territories (objects) to higher control points and from top to bottom - administrative information from higher control points to lower ones, as well as control commands on the TSCT, including the size stored on manned and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and mobile alarm groups (MTG) to implement the situation.

The system can have both a four-level and a three-level hierarchical geographically distributed structure for the control of territories (protection of objects):

- the first level - TSCT complexes, the technical means of which are located directly in the controlled territories (protected objects);

- the second level - complexes of automation equipment (KSA) control points (PU) of the lower links directly located in the area of controlled territories (protected objects);

- the third level - KSA PU middle links;

- the fourth level - KSA PU top link.

If in the automated control system for territorial control (object protection) there are no (not provided) mid-level control points, then the System will have a three-level hierarchical structure. In addition, the System can have three construction options: stationary, when KSA PUs are placed in buildings in specially equipped rooms, transported when KSA PUs are placed in special transported containers, and mixed when KSA PUs of upper control levels are stationary in buildings, and KSA control points of the lower levels - in special transported containers.

In FIG. 1 shows a structural diagram of the construction of a four-level hierarchical System. As can be seen from the diagram, the System consists of two components - the hardware-software complex of the System (APKS) and the complexes of technical means of territorial control (KTSKT).

APSC consists of the required number of KSA PUs of the second level, at least one KSA PU of the third level and KSA PU of the fourth level, special software (STR) that implements the functionality of the System.

KTSKT are a combination of technical means of control of territories functionally connected with special software for automated workstations (AWS) and TSKT servers forming the 1st level of the System.

Between APKS and KTSKT Systems there are unidirectional gateways (ONSH), designed to prevent information circulating in the APKS in KTSKT, as well as to ensure the transfer of control commands to the TSCT, including those placed on the UAV, and to mobile alarm groups.

If necessary, information from other (external) informationally compatible information sources can be added to the KTSKT switch.

In FIG. 2 shows the composition of the CCCTT (first level):

Data from the KTCT through the unidirectional gateway 11 is received on the LAN switch 17 KSA PU second level. Through a unidirectional gateway 11, control commands are also sent to the MTG 12 and the UAV 10. If necessary, information from other (external) information-compatible information sources 13 can be entered on the KTSKT 3 switch.

The switches (17), (23) and (29) of the second, third and fourth levels of the System are designed to organize the exchange of information both in local computer networks and between automated control centers of different levels through dedicated communication channels (VKS).

Description of the functional purpose and operation of the components of the System.

TSCT are deployed in controlled areas (on the territory of protected objects) in strictly defined places, taking into account the terrain and physical and geographical conditions. Information from them is sent to the TSKT server via radio relay and VHF radio channels for its primary processing and then through the onshore school to PU-2, where it is received, stored, processed, provided to officials with PU-2 and transferred to higher control centers via established channels communication.

Administrative information from upstream control points can be communicated to performers via the same communication channels.

Communication channels and special software integrate the KSA of the control points of the second, third and fourth levels of the System in the APS and provide it with the following functions:

- automated (automatic) collection of information from TSCT, its storage, processing and presentation to officials of the PU;

- automated (automatic) maintenance of the databases necessary for monitoring the situation in the controlled territories (objects), forming a simulation model of the developing situation in the controlled territories (objects) for an adequate solution to the problem of its implementation;

- automated (automatic) display of the current situation in the controlled territories (protected objects) and forecasting of its changes;

- automated assessment of the situation in controlled territories (protected objects) and development of recommendations to officials on its implementation in cases of violation of the regime of controlled territories (protected objects);

- automated information and analytical support for decision-making on the implementation of the situation and the setting of tasks for security forces and means;

- Automated issuance of orders by higher-level control points on-line to subordinate control points;

- automated output of target designation data to mobile alarming groups, as well as UAVs for guiding them to the target during the implementation of the situation;

- automated exchange with subordinate control points for commands, signals, and also confirmations of their receipt;

- automatic documentation of incoming and outgoing information.

The information transmitted by the TSCT allows the duty operator PU-2 to record the fact of violation of the regime of the controlled territory (protected objects), to identify violators of the regime, to determine their type, direction and movement parameters. Data is stored in the database of the second-level control center and transferred to the 3rd and 4th levels of the System, where they are displayed on duty monitors of duty operators, analyzed by them, and the necessary information intended for the highest level of control is extracted from the general information flow including for state special bodies.

To prevent information circulating in the control room of the control centers, as well as to ensure the possibility of transmitting control commands to the MTG and UAVs, the hardware and software complex of the system is separated from the TSKT complex by unidirectional gateways 11, passing information in only one direction.

To provide the functions of monitoring territories and illuminating the situation at the protected sites, the TSCT complexes include stationary and autonomous technical monitoring posts equipped with radar (radar-optical) modules (SPTN with RLM, SPTN RLOM, ΑΠΤΗ RLOM) and ΑΠΤΗ with optoelectronic modules (ΑΠΤΗ OEM )

Radar modules (RLM) monitor the ground situation in controlled areas (guarded objects) in the area of responsibility of the lower-level management bodies, detect, automatically capture and escort violators of the regime of controlled territories (guarded objects), transmit primary radar information in digital format via established communication channels on the PU-2.

Optoelectronic modules (OEMs), which include television and thermal imaging cameras and a hardware-software complex, are used for additional reconnaissance of the detected radar detectors of violators of the regime of controlled territories (protected objects) in order to recognize them. Additional investigation of intruders is carried out by pointing the optical axis of OEM according to target designation data from KTSKT and issuing video information on the intruder at PU-2 for subsequent recognition by the duty operator.

ΑΠΤΗ with RLOM and OEM, they have autonomous power sources, subscriber sets of communication and data transmission equipment, means of ensuring their own safety for generating and issuing signals on unauthorized access to the PU-2.

For the operational expansion of control zones in the areas of probable movement of violators in areas of controlled territories (protected objects), where the application is есообраз impractical and inefficient, mobile technical monitoring posts as well as air-based MSCTs, including those placed on UAVs, can be included in the TSCT complexes .

To control the extended sections of the terrain in the probable directions of movement of violators in places that are not visible to the radar, signaling devices, including magnetometric and seismomagnetometric, are used.

If necessary, the composition of the TSCT complexes can be supplemented by other, including external, information sources compatible with them.

Thus, the feature of the proposed System is the automated integrated application of the well-known TSCTs for monitoring the situation in the controlled territories (guarded facilities) and transmitting information about it to the APS, which implements the functions of collecting information about the situation at the facilities, its storage, processing and presentation to officials of control points automated assessment of the situation, decision support on the basis of simulation modeling of the situation, as well as automated decision making to and fillers for the implementation of environment and maintenance of the control performance of tasks.

The applicant was not able in open sources of information to find a description of such systems with a similar composition of functions implemented, which is a sign of the novelty of the proposed technical solution to the problem.
