Huntsville Center begins phase 2 of testing AI security systems at BGAD
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. – U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (Huntsville Center) alongside other organizations through the Army Physical Security Enterprise and Analysis Group (PSEAG) is leading the effort to test Artificial Intelligence integration into existing security systems at Blue Grass Army Depot, Kentucky.
The system is designed to improve the existing security measures by detecting a wide range of threats, including intruders, weapons, fights, fires and even behavioral anomalies.
Milestone two of testing began May 14 to test AI integrated security systems for area detection in areas with dense vegetation and near the perimeter with traffic in the background.
“We are utilizing AI for the first time in intrusion detection,” said Leigh Young, Huntsville Center’s Electronic Security Systems Mandatory Center of Expertise lead engineer.
“We've used analytics on video streams previously, but using AI is more dynamic.”
The AI integration aims to provide real-time alerts and details for emergency situations to reduce response times and improve overall safety for the installation.
