The fact that they are still used and deployed suggests that they are performing good. There are other factors like the enemy tactics, terrain and operation procedures that can sometime limit the success of the system. This is valid for all of the hi-tech equipment that is present in the bases/outposts and especially for sensors.So must be further improved.
The proper deployment of these sensors is also another type of art. The perimeter of many of the outposts and especially that at Matin are exposed for harassment from multiple points. This means that the sensor must be positioned in such a way that it is protected enough from long range harassment (sniper fire, rocket launcher fire, grenade launcher fire, ATGM fire) and to be able to effectively cover a sector. Also we have to keep in mind that many of these outposts don't have a stable power supply. The power supply of many of the outposts is delivered trough generators. These generators have to take care of many things like to keep working a heating system, communications and the sensors. The logistics and supplies are limited so the working time of these sensors must be strictly regulated. Also there are times where generators working are creating noise that is preventing the soldiers situational awareness and the process on the decision of turning on the generators and when to turn them on is taken according to the needs at the current time.
Technology is helping our soldiers a lot, but sometimes it is just not enough. There are many neutralized terrorists which we don't share because it is a routine, but everybody should know that the technology at the bases works as intended in the most of the time and we are punishing the rats accordingly.
