Product 06 / Active radar detection & tracking

Fixed & Rotational AESA Radar Surveillance System

Provides field-tested long-range active surveillance and precision tracking of drones, UAVs, helicopters and low-RCS aerial targets using electronically steered beam technology. Fixed and rotational configurations support continuous all-weather surveillance, automatic track generation and seamless cueing through the Integrated C2 platform.

Up to 10 km

Drone detection

200+ tracks

Simultaneous tracking

Key features

  • X-band AESA technology with electronic beam steering in fixed or rotational configurations.
  • Wide-area azimuth coverage and up to 60° elevation for full hemispheric awareness.
  • Track While Scan, multi-beam processing and simultaneous tracking of 200+ targets.
  • Low-RCS drone detection, automatic target classification and micro-Doppler processing.
  • Adaptive clutter rejection with automatic EO/IR and RF sensor cueing.
  • GPS time synchronisation, integrated C2 interface and built-in health monitoring.
  • Low-maintenance solid-state architecture for fixed, mobile, mast-mounted and naval deployment options.

Wide-area surveillance

All-weather cover over a dispersed installation

A high-value installation needed persistent detection of low-RCS platforms beyond the reach of passive RF sensing, including autonomous aircraft with no control link.

The rotational configuration held continuous wide-area cover, generating tracks automatically and cueing EO/IR for identification through the C2 platform.

Mountain sector track generation

A forward sector with severe terrain clutter required reliable low-level detection without excessive false tracks.

Adaptive clutter rejection and micro-Doppler processing separated rotary-wing and small UAS returns from terrain, sustaining a stable track picture.
