Changi Airport will be the world's first airport to reinforce its perimeter fences with fibre-optic sensors to detect intruders.
More cameras will also be installed at airport boundaries, which will be integrated with the new multi-million-dollar defence system called AgilFence, made by Singapore Technologies (ST) Electronics.
Said Changi Airport Group's executive vice-president (airport management) Foo Sek Min: "No system is fool-proof and perfect."
"And as we review our existing perimeter protection, the introduction of this perimeter intrusion detection system will help us to have a better and faster response if there are any signs of intrusion."
The pressure-sensitive sensors are protected by an armoured casing to prevent tampering and for easy maintenance.
ST Electronics said the system is expected to last a decade, adding that it is immune to electromagnetic and radio frequency interferences, making it effective for deployment in an airfield.
The system is expected to be fully operational by end-2012.
