Security means of the supply chain and logistics at the operational area Security at the checkpoints – contraband detection Zagon CSABA Defence Economics Section of the Hungarian Association of Military Sciences Zrínyi Miklós National Defence University, Budapest, 29-30th May 2008
Peace Operations • Challenge of keeping area under control • Enforced Security at the OP zones and beyond • Aim: to guarantee the security for of support lines of the OP forces • Additional benefits for the local non-OP spheres /trade supply chain
Patrols and checkpoints • In-depth Patrol Operations • Checkpoints to set up (forming a net) • Permanent Checkpoints • Tactical/Temporary Checkpoints • Availability of Checkpoint Preparations
Non-combat Patrols/Checkpoints • What officials do there? Checks primarily focus on • Persons • Vehicles • Cargo
Inspection and detection systems Equipment • Protective clothing • Basic tools • High-Tech
High-Tech Designed for the circumstances (?) • Field situation • Lack of infrastructure • Weather difficulties • Easy to move (to keep mobility) • Robust • No / rare need of spare parts Does your equipment meets them you are dreaming about?
High-Tech: X-ray – Gamma inspection systems Vehicle and Cargo Inspection Systems (VACIS) • Need of basic infrastructure e.g. mains voltage • Limited mobility at the operational area • Very expensive • Extreme vulnerability
What do we need? • Solutions that work locally • Proven cost-effectiveness • Excellent return on investments • Trade facilitation vs. security • It fits for both the Mission and can be the subject of Donation • Donation + training (know-how)
Availability • No local production of equipment • Rare production of/ accessibility to „Mission Sets” • Almost nobody provides equipment and training „in a packet” (know-how transfer)
Contraband Detection Kit (CDK) #1 (an example) • Mobility • User friendliness • Robust elements, operability and reliability • Low risk for users and for their environment • Supports practices in modern border/check-point technologies
CDK #2 The CDK includes
CDK #3 • Demonstrated in a classroom or field situation • Guided searches and • Simulated concealment areas • Kits are tailored as per end users profile • Awareness courses can be inserted in a complex training programme (modules)
Conclusions • Meet “new” challenges • Multi purpose equipment • Solutions should be customised - location • Long term thinking • Well selected kits with robust elements • Training courses • No threats for its users and their proximity • Cost efficiency with all advantages and capacities of domestic producers and dealers
