Flourishing demand for Territorial Border and Coastal Surveillance System Industry

Border control is the measure of a state or a block of states to monitor its borders and to regulate the cross-border traffic of people, animals and goods. States and rulers have always viewed the ability to determine who is entering or staying on their territory a key test of their sovereignty, but border controls were sporadic before World War I.

In medieval Europe, for example, the borders between rival countries and centers of power were largely symbolic or consisted of amorphous border areas, "marches" and "disputed lands" of indefinite or disputed status, and the real "borders" consisted of the fortified walls, the Surrounding Cities, in which the authorities could exclude unwanted or incompatible people at the gates, from vagabonds, beggars and the "wandering poor" to "masterless women", lepers, Roma or Jews.

The concept of a travel document like a passport, needed to clarify border controls in the modern sense, was traced back to the reign of Henry V of England to help his subjects prove who they were in foreign lands. The earliest reference to these documents is found in a law of the Parliament of 1414.
