Abstract— This paper presents an idea to secure the border in a simple and more reliable way, The proposed idea has a simple design and has a
very high range , it covers a very large border area securing the border area from illegal entries, smuggling ,illegal movement of weapon without
much involvement of security forces near border. Afteranalysing the previous attack in our country and the number of accidents happening each
year, it is evident that in most of the cases the security force are unaware of the entry of these terrorist hence in order to protect our nation from
such attacks and terrorist activity there is a need to implement a security system which will be smart enough to detect these activity and give
proper information about each and every activity happening near the border.
In this paper, we propose building a security system that can be implemented by using advance feature like obstacle detection, obstacle
identification, distance sensing and activity tracking, and quick communication between the source area and control room . If obstacle enters the
border it automatically detects the obstacle give warnings and send the record of activity to control room. Also it eliminates the enemy in more
efficient and better way.

then due to discontinuity of light falling on LDR surface
sensor detects the obstacle and it sends a signal to the
microcontroller.
The purpose of using three laser beam is to warn the
obstacle at known distance as it is not always the terrorist
who crosses the boundary there could be any villager or
other person which may come under detection and hence to
stop them from further movements we alarm them by giving
warnings and at the same time this also allows the security
personals to get a brief idea about the current position as
well as the motion of the obstacle.

2. Block diagram description:
In our proposed method, there are two units, one is
transmitter/remote unit which is placed at the
border(unmanned area) and the second one is
receiver/control section is at the control room.
Transmitter unit consists of combination of laser and
LDR(Light dependent resistor) detector, which is nothing
but a sensor which sense the continuous light falling on it
which is emitted from the laser source .once it receives a
discontinuous signal it provides a high output in its output
pin, which is an input to the microcontroller. Once the
controller receives this particular input it transmits an alarm
signal to the control room. Once this signal received at the
receiver, the controller takes the received information as
input and a voice bank unit also get enabled and it activate a
warning of “Alert an enemy is detected” along with this alert
message it also provide us the exact distance at which the
obstacle has been detected..
Once the vigilance person who is at control room finds any
unauthorized entry of adjacent country terrorist or militant
he can take necessary action at right time and can aim at
correct distance thereby improving both security and
accuracy.
All these activity can be seen at the LCD connected at the
control room. The LCD shows the record of all the operation
going on at the Border.
3. Literature review
In this field of technology lots of research work is going on,
in most of the system obstacle is detected using passive
infrared sensor (PIR sensor)
But the short range of PIR sensor provide one of the major
disadvantage of the system.
Another project WNS(Wireless Integrated Network Sensors)
this system has the capability of detecting the obstacle as
human or animal at border itself by analysing the sound of
foot steps produced by human.
This paper shows the system has several nodes which are
interconnected with each other and finally they are
connected to the main node. The concept of using node
increases its overall range , but this project also suffers a
major disadvantage that if obstacle do not enter with
footsteps then it may fail to detect also this project cost is
very high because of the number of nodes connected with
each other.

After analysing these project we can see that there is
problem of range, failure to provide underground activity
detection, high cost because require more no. of circuit and
sensor to improve range thereby making the system more
complex and less efficient also to enhance the range the
system uses more number of similar circuitry repeated at
certain intervals with the help of node[12] this increase the
overall system cost and hence is unreliable and less efficient.
4. Proposed Methodology
5.1 Circuit diagram
Fig 2 – Circuit diagram of the system
Proposed System works on Atmega16[10] microcontroller
with laser light which has range greater than 100 Km and Its
range can be further improved by increasing the power of
laser the proposed system utilises the advantages of laser
light and use this light for the obstacle detection over a long
range.
The idea of placing the laser and LDR[2] at fixed known
distance gives us the exact distance at which the obstacle has
been detected without use of any distance measuring devices
and it automatically works after the obstacle has been
eliminated.
Another concept in the proposed methodology is the use of
high power laser beam which not only helps in the exact
detection of the obstacle but also helps in preventing the
further movement or crossing of the last restricted layer.
Mike sensor placed inside the tunnel or underground gives
the idea of activity happening over there. Thereby
improving the security below the border area.
The system design is such that any person can operate it
without much prior knowledge.

1. Long range (> 100km).
2. Provides three layer protection
3. Low power loss and low power consumption
4. Quick communication between border and control
room.
5. Underground protection.

person can detect the underground activities without use of

can be easily solved by the proposed system . the proposed
system will act as a additional boundary layer which will
help the solder to plan more efficiently and aim at exact
