Why it matters

None of these sites sits near a front line. Distance no longer protects a site, and finding the operator is still the hard part.

Layered detection (RF, radar, EO/IR and Remote ID) buys the warning time that physical barriers can't. Talk to a TKG engineer about coverage at your site.
