The
pysical
security fence is providing the core of the
buffer zone
security system. This obstacle will be augmented by a
wide variety of sensors, weapons and security forces. The Ground
Forces Command is preparing the ground work for wide scale
deployment of such systems, which will include aerostats,
observation towers and UAV patrols. The IDF plans to maintain the
buffer zone with the minimum number of units, and will equip them
to intervene as rapid response forces, employing all all terrain vehicles,
such as
Hummer tactical vehicles as well as other wheeled armored vehicles,
considered effective for this role. Security forces will be
deployed in small detachments at high risk locations, from
where they can will be able to respond quickly to every
incident along the fence. Even faster response could be provided by
autonomous vehicles, guarding specific sectors of the
security zone, holding infiltrators until responding forces arrive.
The IDF is using sophisticated tactical simulation of the buffer
zone, for the operational planning and doctrine development. Such simulations evaluate
different combinations of doctrine, tactics, sensors and response
elements and assist in formulating the best, cost effective security
measures for each sector.
RAFAEL
has also unveiled the Wolf
multi-purpose armored car, designed for patrols and security
missions, protected ambulance as well as logistical support transportation
for typical LIC combat zones contingencies.
