Vanguard: point-of-entry sensor
See the room
before entry.
The first operator through the door takes the greatest risk. He does not know who is waiting on the other side, how many people are in the room, or whether a civilian stands inches from the entry point. Vanguard reveals human presence before entry, so the team goes in with information instead of assumptions.
Protect the team. Protect civilians. Save lives.
Real-time view, 120° field of view, up to 7 m
Integration and deployment
The IFF Core sends its measurements over a wireless link to the receiver. The receiver connects via USB-C to a smartphone or tablet, where the Vanguard App shows detected persons in real time.
