[NEWS] The Present and Future of Unmanned Perimeter Security Systems Driven by AI, IoT, and Drones

Amid major demographic shifts and a declining pool of military personnel, unmanned perimeter security systems integrating AI, IoT, and drone technologies are emerging as a key paradigm in both physical security and defense surveillance.Based on a report by the National Information Society Agency (NIA), this article explores the latest trends and market outlook for unmanned perimeter security technologies, while highlighting the technological direction that TBT Inc. is pursuing for the future.Why Unmanned Perimeter Security Is Becoming Essential• Rapid Decline in Available ManpowerSouth Korea’s working-age population is projected to decrease significantly from 36.74 million in 2022 to 16.58 million by 2072. The defense sector is facing a similar challenge, with the number of 20-year-old males eligible for military service expected to decline from approximately 236,000 in 2025 to 127,000 by 2045. This demographic shift is accelerating the need to transition from manpower-intensive surveillance operations toward automated and unmanned security systems.• Overcoming the Limitations of Conventional Surveillance SystemsTraditional sensor-based perimeter security systems have recorded false alarm rates of up to 80%, often triggered by extreme weather conditions, foreign objects, or animals. To overcome these limitations, AI-powered video analytics and advanced object identification technologies are becoming increasingly essential for reliable and efficient perimeter surveillance.Physical Security Market Outlook and TBT’s StrategySupported by government initiatives promoting next-generation growth industries, South Korea’s physical security market is projected to expand from KRW 10.5 trillion in 2022 to approximately KRW 20 trillion by 2027.The global physical security market is also expected to maintain strong growth, with an annual growth rate of up to 8.7%, and is projected to exceed USD 200 billion after 2030.In response to these rapidly evolving market needs, TBT Inc. continues to advance its AI-based video analytics solutions, multi-sensor fusion technologies, and intelligent integrated surveillance platforms.Building on its technical expertise and experience in military smart perimeter surveillance systems and the protection of critical public infrastructure, TBT aims to introduce the next generation of unmanned perimeter security solutions significantly reducing false alarms while maximizing detection and surveillance accuracy.  

[NEWS] TBT to Participate in SEECAT 2026 in Tokyo, Japan

   Integrated Anti-Drone Solution Featuring EO/IR Camera Integration to Make Its Japan Debut Booth InformationExhibition: Special Equipment Exhibition & Conference for Anti-Terrorism 2026 (SEECAT'26)Dates: September 30 (Wed) – October 2 (Fri), 2026Venue: South Exhibition Halls, Tokyo Big Sight (東京ビッグサイト), JapanBooth: 4H-35Exhibits: Anti-drone system (radar, RF scanner, EO/IR camera for visual tracking, and jammer) TBT Co., Ltd. will participate in the Special Equipment Exhibition & Conference for Anti-Terrorism 2026 (SEECAT'26), to be held for three days from Wednesday, September 30 to Friday, October 2, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight (東京ビッグサイト) in Japan.At Booth 4H-35, TBT will showcase its integrated anti-drone system centered on its EO/IR (electro-optical/infrared) thermal imaging camera technology.Growing Drone Terrorism Threats Highlight the Urgent Need for Stronger CountermeasuresIn recent years, threats involving drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have increased rapidly around the world. As commercial drones have become smaller, more affordable, and more capable, they have also become increasingly accessible for reconnaissance and surveillance, as well as for carrying explosives or hazardous materials that could be used to target public facilities, critical national infrastructure, and large-scale event venues.Internationally, there have been repeated reports of airport operations being temporarily disrupted by unauthorized drone activity, as well as unidentified drones being detected near critical infrastructure such as power plants and oil refineries.Against this backdrop, SEECAT'26, held at Tokyo Big Sight, brings together security-related personnel from organizations such as the police, fire departments, Japan Self-Defense Forces, Japan Coast Guard, and customs authorities, as well as representatives from major infrastructure operators, to explore practical counter-terrorism and security solutions.As Korea's only company specializing in counter-terrorism solutions, TBT aims to present practical and integrated countermeasures against drone threats through its participation in the exhibition.Through SEECAT'26, TBT plans to demonstrate its thermal imaging camera technologies and integrated security solution capabilities directly to Japanese security and public safety professionals. The company also intends to establish a foundation for expanding its business in Japan's anti-drone and critical infrastructure security markets.Visitors interested in TBT's solutions can visit Booth 4H-35 to view the actual equipment and live system integration demonstrations.
