1 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

2 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

3 Patrols and checkpoints In-depth Patrol Operations Checkpoints to set up (forming a net) Permanent Checkpoints Tactical/Temporary Checkpoints Availability of Checkpoint Preparations

4 Non-combat Patrols/Checkpoints What officials do there? Checks primarily focus on Persons Vehicles Cargo

5 Inspection and detection systems Equipment Protective clothing Basic tools High-Tech

6 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?

7 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

8 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)

9 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)

10 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

11 CDK #2 The CDK includes

12 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)

13 Concealment overview

14 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
