Modern technologies in borders protection

Abstract

Integration of countries brings about abolishment of internal borders control instruments between member states as in the European Union, but on the other hand increases the need for better control of their external boundaries. The paper presents possibilities which offers up-to-date technology especially in area of applying unmanned aerial and surface vehicles as well as seismic intrusion detectors, and other types of sensors applicable for border control and safety. The author focus on current solutions in this area and presents research programs such as the European Union TALOS which should help to support security and protection level of the international borders.
