Elbit Systems Launches Frontier: Next-Generation AI-Based System to Tackle Evolving Border Defense Challenges
-
Elevating Persistent Surveillance with Real-Time AI-Driven Threat Detection and Decision-Making Support, Frontier reduces the workload on operating teams, reduces operational costs, and enhances mission success rates
London, UK, September 9, 2025. Elbit Systems Ltd. introduces Frontier, its cutting-edge wide-area persistent surveillance system, designed to address the increasing complexity and intensity of border defense challenges. Presented for the first time at the DSEI 2025 exhibition, Frontier is built to autonomously detect, classify, and assess threats in real-time. Frontier leverages advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize intelligence gathering and decision-making in land, air, and maritime domains.
As global threats continue to evolve, intelligence teams are burdened with monitoring and managing thousands of alerts and massive amounts of data in real time. This challenge places significant demands on operational teams, often requiring substantial resources and risking potential errors. To address these needs, Elbit Systems developed Frontier, a smart, AI-based edge system designed to enhance surveillance operations.
Key features of Frontier include:
- AI Based Adaptive Routine Learning: using cutting edge computing capabilities the system continuously learns and adapts to routine operations by analyzing vast amounts of data to detect anomalies and deviations.
- Autonomous Threat Classification: Leveraging AI, the system autonomously identifies and classifies threats in real-time, enabing fast and accurate responses.
- Smart Decision-Making Support: Frontier prioritizes and assesses the risk of potential threats, providing operators with clear, actionable insights.
- Sensor Integration: Maximizes the capabilities of multiple sensors, turning data overflow into a coherent understanding of the peremiter.
- Operational Efficiency: Reduces the workload on operating teams, and lowers operational costs, while improving mission success rates.
Frontier autonomously operates various types of sensors to visually confirm and classify threats, transmitting only the most relevant and analyzed information to the appropriate forces.
