Optellios, Inc,. announced today that its FiberPatrol® perimeter intrusion detection systems now support the most current security information exchange protocol approved and adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense, the ICD-0100.  Already in use at a number of high-profile military sites, FiberPatrol systems will now be able to report alarm information directly to any ICD-0100-compliant Command and Control Node. Alarm notifications from compliant third-party sensors will be received and processed by The FiberPatrol Remote Alarm Management System.

    The ICD-0100 protocol is defined by the Security Equipment Integration Working Group (SEIWG), a standing subcommittee of the Physical Security Equipment Action Group (PSEAG) at the U.S. Department of Defense. ICD-0100 establishes the structure and sequencing of information for communication between a Command and Control Display Element (CCDE) and sensors that provide intruder detection and assessment information to the CCDE. The prescribed interface is based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0, as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium. The focus of the interface standard is to satisfy requirements for Force Protection information exchange.

    The ICD-0100 standard has been broadly adopted by major integrators such as Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, L-3 Communications, Diebold, Advantor, Telephonics, Abacus Technology and by the U.S. Department of Defense.
   
    Using cutting edge technology, FiberPatrol intrusion detection systems analyze the slightest disturbances in fiberoptic sensor cables, which can be deployed without any powered field infrastructure along fences, walls, or in-ground perimeters. FiberPatrol location-sensing systems have a unique ability to pinpoint precise locations of intrusion attempts anywhere along miles of sensor cable. FiberPatrol products have been deployed at a number of U.S. military sites, protecting both perimeter boundaries and communication pathways.
