"A dog could dig that hole if you threw its bone down there," said Dennis O'Leary, who runs DarkPulse Technologies, a Manhattan firm that uses its patented products to monitor the structural integrity of large pipelines as well as seismic activity in the rock walls of mine shafts.
O'Leary was born on the Upper East Side, where he now lives, and worked for the NYPD as a narcotics officer before getting into the security and safety business. He's a firm believer that the border needs to be better fortified and is convinced that a wall on its own is not up to the task. His solution calls for outfitting the barrier with a network of fiber-optic cables that can be embedded in dirt, concrete or other surfaces to detect the slightest changes in the surrounding environment.
Because the RFP is open to companies offering high-tech solutions, DarkPulse is hoping that its product will catch the government's eye. Its proposal includes laying a carpetlike network of cables along and within the barrier, allowing the feds to remotely pinpoint anyone attempting to breach the border. O'Leary estimates that the technology would cost around $88,700 per mile, or $110 million for the 1,250 miles of the 2,000-mile Southern border that is not currently barricaded.
