PureTech Systems, a new competitor to the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is delighted to announce that PureActiv has been nominated to compete in the 2018 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program.
PureActiv™ is an automated outdoor surveillance system that addresses critical security threats to safeguard lives, facilities, and other high-value assets.

By incorporating PureTech’s innovative geographic map presentation, advanced object detection and tracking, fence intrusion detection, automated camera steering, scalable video distribution, and automated security policy response, the PureActiv system provides advanced situational awareness and proactive management of outdoor security threats to lives, critical facilities and assets.

DHS Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recently took delivery of multiple mobile versions of the PureActiv wide area video surveillance software suite, including its patented geospatial video analytics, as part of the Mobile Video Surveillance Systems (MVSS) program.
CBP is the largest federal law enforcement agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security, and is the country’s primary border control organization.
The MVSS program, won by Tactical Microof Fredericksburg VA, a division of Benchmark Electronics, consists of a complete mobile surveillance platform to aid the U.S. Border Patrol to track and identify Items of Interest (IOI) along the U.S. southwest border.
The “Eagle” Mobile Video Surveillance System (MVSS) stand-alone mobile surveillance system includes an all-terrain pickup with a surveillance sensor payload mounted on a pneumatic mast system, capable of raising the sensors up to a height of 30 feet.
The mobile vehicle sensor payload includes a thermal camera, visible camera, long-range illuminator, laser range finder, cab mounted command and control, as well as, other power management and deployment capabilities.
(The MVSS provides law enforcement agencies, private security firms and the military with an affordable solution for force protection, reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA). Other ideal applications include, crowd control and crowd safety, border control, search and rescue, facility security, and when deployed can provide surveillance in remote areas without requiring personnel to be on the ground.

The Eagle MVSS Features Include:
- Provides detection, tracking, identification and classification of points of interest in the operating area.
- Ruggedized and can be deployed to remote areas that require off-road transport without sustaining damage to the equipment.
- Can be transitioned from a transport state to a mission-ready state in less than 30 minutes after arriving on site, without the operator exiting the vehicle.
- Fits all standard Pickup beds
- No tools required for 1 person transfer between vehicles
Within the MVSS, PureTech Systems software provides the command and control (C2), as well as, the long-range camera pointing and video analytics.
The objective of the MVSS is to provide a rapid deployment short- and medium-range mobile surveillance directly from Border Patrol vehicles.
An agent can deploy the system, which can then aid in detecting, tracking, identifying and classifying items of interest using the video feed and on-board software.
The border agent/operator can then use that information to monitor the situation, respond to events, or share the information to assist other agents.
“PureTech Systems strives to create highly dependable, tactically superior solutions to help our customers readily address critical surveillance needs,” commented Larry Bowe, president and CEO of PureTech Systems.
“We’re proud to be a team player on another program delivering industry leading video solutions to customers, such as the Customs and Border Protection.”
MVSS is a part of a larger electronic border protection strategy which includes both mobile and fixed platforms including the Integrated Fixed Tower System (IFT) and the Remote Video Surveillance System (RVSS).
In addition to the MVSS, PureTech Systems also provides its PureActiv software suite for the RVSS program and other customers on similar fixed and mobile platforms, which includes radar integration and wireless connectivity to enable monitoring and controlling both fixed and mobile sensor suites from a central command.
