Collins Aerospace’s family of LightLOC® solutions take security to the next level. Our patented, fiber optic based security systems provide optimum perimeter and access security for manholes, gates, doors, underground pathways, perimeter vehicle detections and custom applications.

Designed to be adaptable, LightLOC monitored locations up to 30 km away can function without the need for electrical power. Sensors and cables used in the system are developed and manufactured by Collins. Since altering or destroying optical components triggers alarms automatically, our LightLOC systems are inherently tamper-resistant.

We serve many markets in the United States and internationally that require the highest level of security including nuclear power plants, DoD sites, military installations, government agencies, underground utilities, data centers and more.
