Description

The invention relates to the field of protection of open areas, perimeters, approaches and ways of movement to important objects and is intended for round-the-clock video surveillance in the visible and infrared range of the protected area, located at a considerable distance, as well as monitoring the fire situation in the daytime and at night in the absence of lighting and in a wide range of weather conditions.

A technical monitoring post for tracking ground and / or surface objects is known from the prior art (RF patent No. 142055 dated 06/11/2013, IPC B60R 1/00, G08G 1/017, copyright holder of the Federal State Budgetary Institution Border Research Center of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation ), located on an all-wheel drive truck. The post contains a set of surveillance devices connected by a cable network to a generator, operator and commander workstations, interfaced with a satellite navigation system, communication and data transmission equipment. In the car’s cabin are: operator’s and commander’s workstations, communication and data transmission equipment, a personal navigator and a monitor for the thermal driving night vision system, the camera of which is located in the bumper or on the radiator of the car. In the car body, equipped with a frame and removable awning, a frame is installed, with two telescopic masts with electric drives fixed, the design of which provides for the emergency, manual, lowering and raising masts mechanism, as well as a frame with hatches that open when the radar module and optical electronic module in the working position and locked in the stowed position by means of a screw mechanism with an electric drive. A transverse beam is installed on the frame of the vehicle’s base chassis with mechanical support posts / outriggers necessary to reduce the amplitude of oscillations of the mobile technical observation post.

The disadvantages of the technical supervision post are:

1) The workplace of the operator and commander is separate from the radar module and the optoelectronic module.

2) The presence of two hatches in the frame of the car body, opening with a screw mechanism with electric drive.

As a prototype of the claimed invention, a ground transportation complex for detecting and recognizing objects was taken (RF patent No. 2352480 dated July 24, 2007, IPC B60R 1/00, G08G 1/017, copyright holder of Horizont OJSC, Favorit Scientific-Production Company LLC) , consisting of a car divided by a transverse power partition into the driver and hardware compartments. Two sunroofs are formed at the rear of the roof. In the hardware compartment, two mast-lifting devices passed through hatches are connected to the drives. On the slewing ring mounted electronic sensors of the system for detecting and recognizing objects. One electronic sensor is made in the form of a radar station equipped with a magnetic compass, and the other combines a thermal imager, a video camera and a laser range finder.

The disadvantages of this invention are:

1) The presence of two hatches in the rear of the car roof, which reduces the structural strength and increases the cost of manufacturing, packaging and operation of the complex.

2) The need to use two lifting and mast devices, two slewing bearings, which leads to an increase in the cost of manufacturing, equipment and operation of equipment and complex.

3) The use of a laser range finder leads to an increase in the cost of the complex.

The objective of the invention is the creation of a mobile complex on the basis of a cross-country vehicle for round-the-clock monitoring of open areas, approaches and movement routes to important objects located at a considerable distance, and monitoring the fire situation.

The technical result of the claimed invention is a mobile complex for monitoring open areas, independent of external power supply, conducting intelligent video surveillance of large open spaces in real-time mode, detecting and tracking targets in video location mode, detecting and tracking intruders with their own security system.
