Base Security
Ensuring Security And Safety To Protect Our Warfighters
Protecting our warfighters, from the battlefield to the base, is an inviolable duty. Current base security measures have proven inadequate or incomplete in many cases. Advances in visual AI technology to autonomously detect and alert to real-time threats are revolutionizing the value of closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems for base security.

SECURITY GAPS
<30 min
Studies have shown humans watching video feeds begin disengaging after just twenty minutes.
While tighter control of access to buildings and installations, personal identification badge systems, metal detectors, gunshot detectors, bullet-proof film, active shooter drills, additional security staff, and human-monitored camera surveillance can all be important elements in an installation’s security protocol, they are reactive in nature and often limited in effectiveness.
Studies show that humans struggle to sustain focus when monitoring video surveillance feeds. Perhaps for this reason, CCTV is more commonly used for post-incident investigation—irrelevant for preventing attacks and saving lives when real-time action is the crucial factor.
CCTV systems equipped with advanced computer vision technology (Visual AI) can analyze data feeds in real time to identify issues as they occur and take immediate mitigating action. Employing the latest in computer vision technology, Avathon’s platform utilizes a base’s existing camera infrastructure to proactively detect everything from a weapon to an open door, unauthorized access, or even a fire. Key capabilities include:
- Automatically detect threats, security breaches, and developing situations.
- Transform data into real-time actionable insights.
- Shorten time to action when every moment counts.
How AI Improves Base Security
Acting As a Force Multiplier
Leveraging the power of AI, Avathon’s visual analysis technology can provide base security teams information in real-time, acting as additional warfighters to support key personnel.
- No data scientist or programmer is required.
- Commercially, over 130K cameras are under contract.
Deploying in Days, Not Months
Avathon visual AI technology creates simple, fast, flexible deployments with pre-built models focused on high-value use cases.
