The Guardium perimeter security system, featuring an autonomous unmanned ground
security vehicle called M-Guard, provides perimeter security for government
and military facilities, as well as transportation and industrial hubs.
Produced by the Lahav division of Israel Aircraft Industries, the mobile robot,
which is equipped with cameras and other sensors, is able to navigate a variety
of ground features. In the event of a perimeter breach, a company official said,
M-Guard “immediately reacts to isolate, contain and control intruders
until backup support arrives.”
