Will‑Burt Rapid Response Elevation Solutions Securing the U.S. border requires technology that performs flawlessly in the harshest environments, sustains continuous operation, and delivers actionable situational awareness when every second matters. The Will‑Burt Company has supported U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and its integrators for years with proven elevation, surveillance, communications, and rapid‑response solutions designed specifically for mission‑critical border operations. Our systems have been deployed across both the northern and southern U.S. borders, including participation in programs requiring mast and trailer systems for CBP operational needs. At the center of our capabilities is a comprehensive portfolio of fully integrated trailer‑based elevation systems, including those engineered through our Will-Burt Integration division brands; Aluma Tower and ITS—trusted providers of mobile tower‑trailer‑shelter systems known for ruggedness, mobility, and rapid field deployment in extreme conditions. These solutions provide elevated platforms for persistent video and radar surveillance, long‑range detection, sensor fusion, and secure communications. Whether supporting fixed sites, forward operations, or mobile interdiction teams, our systems deliver the vertical advantage required for effective border monitoring. Making its appearance on the show floor, our Compact Elevation System (CES) truck configuration demonstrates Will‑Burt’s capability to fully integrate vehicle‑based elevation solutions. CES provides rapid, highly stable elevation for cameras, radars, and communications payloads, and has been showcased at past Border Security Expo events in collaboration with industry partners as part of advanced mobile surveillance systems used by CBP and other border security stakeholders. Built for demanding terrain and unpredictable conditions, CES offers controlled deployment, minimal setup time, and a reduced crew requirement—key advantages for operators working remote sectors of the border. For integrators seeking standalone components, Will‑Burt supplies the industry’s premier telescopic masts and towers, offering precise, stable elevation for video and radar sensors, communications systems, and multi‑sensor payloads. This includes electro‑mechanical Stiletto masts, high‑capacity pneumatic masts, and aluminum or steel tower systems that support mobile, semi‑fixed, and long‑duration deployments. Our products are used extensively within U.S. and allied programs requiring 80‑ to 120‑foot mast‑and‑trailer systems for border security missions. Will‑Burt also offers Clark man‑portable field masts, enabling operators to rapidly deploy sensors when mobility, stealth, or austere conditions limit the use of vehicles or trailers. These lightweight, durable systems allow CBP personnel and contractors to elevate optics and communications devices quickly, extending visual and electronic reach during interdiction, surveillance, and search‑and‑rescue missions. Every Will‑Burt integrated system is backed by ISO‑certified engineering, global manufacturing, and a century‑long legacy of designing the world’s most trusted elevation platforms. As threats evolve along the southern border—from human smuggling to narcotics trafficking to unmanned aerial incursions—Will‑Burt remains committed to delivering dependable, American‑made technology that strengthens operational awareness and enhances mission safety. At Border Security Expo 2026, we are honored to stand with the professionals defending America’s front line.
