Radar detection system planned for Korean border

The government of South Korea is believed to be planning an increase in security measures at its border with North Korea, including a radar system that can detect the movement of human traffic in dense terrain.

The radars can detect movement within eight kilometers, and will be placed within the demilitarized zone between the two countries. The technology is a detection device and cannot be used to identify border crossers.

The divide between North and South Korea is recognized as the world’s most heavily-fortified border. The demilitarized zone runs for 151 miles and is dotted with landmines and bunkers. The area is patrolled by one million North Korean and 600,000 South Korean soldiers.
