Benchmark Electronics, Inc. proudly announces the successful completion of the delivery of 24 Mobile Vehicle Surveillance Systems with Radar (MVSS-R) for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This delivery, completed on time and within budget, reaffirms Benchmark’s commitment to excellence in developing and deploying advanced surveillance technology that leverages artificial intelligence (AI), radar, and sensor technology to deliver practical, robust solutions to real-world challenges.
“As the demand for intelligent, high-performance surveillance solutions continues to grow, Benchmark remains committed to delivering advanced, scalable technologies like MVSS-R, which address the evolving needs of our U.S. government customers,” said Jeff Benck, president and CEO, Benchmark. “We continue to expand our expertise on our enhanced platform with critical technologies such as AI, radar, and advanced sensors to ensure that our solutions remain at the forefront of the mission-critical security and monitoring applications.”
The MVSS-R platform integrates leading-edge AI-powered sensor fusion and advanced radar technology to deliver unparalleled situational awareness in dynamic environments. By leveraging Benchmark’s expertise in complex systems integration, the program enhances surveillance efficiency and operational effectiveness by seamlessly coordinating radar, AI-based video analytics, and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor systems. Benchmark is also working with CBP to address emerging needs, such as enabling autonomous surveillance operations with the MVSS-R platform.
Developed and Manufactured in the U.S.
The program was led by Benchmark Secure Technology (Secure), a U.S.-based aerospace and defense focused solutions team within Benchmark that develops and deploys custom, ruggedized technology and surveillance solutions. To develop this system, Secure worked closely with Customs and Border Protection leadership and agents in the field. As a full-service engineering and manufacturing partner, Secure oversaw the entire product lifecycle, from concept to final assembly, ensuring the highest quality and performance standards. Secure’s expertise as a technology integrator ensured that CBP and the FAA received a field-proven, highly capable solution optimized for their application.
Each MVSS-R unit was designed and assembled in the United States, reinforcing Benchmark’s commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable solutions through domestic production capabilities. Over half of Benchmark’s manufacturing capacity is in North America, including ITAR-registered manufacturing facilities in California, Arizona, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Alabama, and Mexico.
Driving Innovation Through Strategic Partnerships
Benchmark Secure Technology’s approach to the MVSS-R platform highlights the company’s ability to collaborate with industry-leading technology providers to develop innovative surveillance solutions. The latest MVSS-R units incorporate cutting-edge technology from partners such as SRC, Inc., PureTech Systems, and Advanced EO Systems, exemplifying Secure’s role as a trusted integrator of best-in-class subsystems, delivering comprehensive solutions tailored to mission-critical applications.
This delivery builds on Benchmark Secure Technology’s longstanding success in providing advanced surveillance solutions. Benchmark’s ongoing work highlights its ability to integrate best-in-class technology into highly functional, field-ready platforms that address today’s most complex operational challenges. While initially developed for CBP, the MVSS-R system can meet the advanced surveillance needs of other U.S. Government agencies and is available through GSA Advantage.
