To respond to the person who asked if BAIS was in comparison like PEWS or PSID or EMIDS and MIDS.
Not even close,maybe the fact they both used Seismic Detection capablity other than that, No Way. BAIS, is using highly refinned algorythms to not just detect but classify what the target is.Vehicle,wheeled,track,person. The classifications are very accurate when the devices are emplaced correctly and given time to Set In we call it in the UGS World. Each sensor has its own Gain Control system that allows the sensor to get use to its surroundings. Once this period, usually only about 30 minutes. the sensor can tell the difference between a car, truck person . They also use Magnetic and Infrared attachments to show not just the intrusion but the direction of travel. I have and probably always will be facinated by UGS. I emplace and operate all different types of Grnd Surv equipment
but Ground Sensors are fun to work with. The ground sensors like BAIS are great triggers for frame or video cameras to capture images of intruders . It is great to know what the threat is,before responding it really saves lives.

I have had experience with UGS since 1977. Still work mainly with UGS but some other gadgets have
crept their way into the GrndSurv suite of Surveillance I spend time around . The BAIS Sets AN/PRS-9’s are fielded and activly minding their own ground, wherever they lay. The size and simplicity of the BAIS Set is a large sell point. Light weight and simple to use , low power consumption, A very large detection radius, in ideal geographic/logic settings. Designed and built by L3 Com East who also designed REMBASS,IREMBASS and REM II. Basicly its REM II sized down to be used as a
Force Protection element and force Multiplier .
Great for lay in Surveillance and short range
recon patrol settings where force protection has to be set up down and dirty quick. Great for short term use eg, shooter position security etc. Lots of degigns and manufacturers of UGS out there but the REMBASS Family of Sensors which first were developed in 1982 has held their own . The UGS World has changed from simple ground sensors buried to warn us where the bad guys are to very complex Surveillance Gateways used in wireless and ADHOC Configurations sending their intelligence data a world away keeping those in the rear informed with whats up front and around those blind corners we don’t see.

The BAIS looks like a new phase of the most basic sensors, psids, more of a small perimiter sensor system.

Anybody out there using BAIS? I used PEWS in the late 80s, early 90s and had a hard time with it, from what I hear, BAIS is way better and the army is feilding it to units now. I would really like to hear about anybody using BAIS in Iraq or Afganistan now.

Where to get old sensors?
The Emid, ElectroMagnetic Sensor that works great in water areas and garages/wherehouses that are damp were removed from military in late 70’s because Magnetic waves on bodies was dangerous, so many civy Security firms bought them up.
I have only seen Psids for sale, which are phase one sensors, very limited.
Go to a security firm to see if they handle groundlevel sensors or Infrared sensors for sale.

I was MOS 8621 or 17M in late 70’s.
Sensors have Audio and Magnetic add ons to Minisids of that time. So detecting friend or foe wouldn’t be that hard, plus the cost, you would not place them down a street that contains massive traffic.
It’s great for rear protection and 360 security of location to a sniper hide or lookout post.
As for Nazi or Big Brother, they are not set up for that, it’s security and surveilance for an area, it doesn’t read minds or report you to the man.
