Atlas Elektronik delivers Coastal Surveillance System for the Bulgarian Border Police

Atlas Elektronik has completed the delivery of the coastal surveillance system, which has been ordered by the Bulgarian Ministry of Finance regarding the completion of the Bulgarian obligations towards the Schengen agreement of the European Union. The system, operated by the Border Police (Ministry of Interior), covers the entire Bulgarian coastline of more than 350 km.

The contract includes the delivery of the complete coastal surveillance system, whereby already existing radar sites were integrated. The main components are surface radar, signal processing, multi-sensor tracking, including AIS and CCTV, communication, system management and recording & replay based on the CSS product Seatrack 9800.

The contract was awarded to a consortium, consisting of Atlas Elektronik, Tcherno More and Optix (ATO) in January, 2010 in Sofia and has been completed and accepted by the customer on 8 December 2010 after only eleven months in Sofia. The contract was executed by the 100% subsidiary ATLAS Maritime Security, which has merged with Sofrelog beginning of 2011. Later this year the legal entities ATLAS Maritime Security and Sofrelog will be re-named into Signalsi.
