Customer’s challenge

Coastal Surveillance Radars are specialized, all-weather sensors designed to detect small, low-radar-cross-section targets like dinghies and fishing boats, often in heavy sea clutter. Acting as the core of coastal surveillance systems, they provide real-time situational awareness, monitor maritime traffic, and secure ports. They require high power and power density to effectively enable, identify, and track maritime threats. 

  • Minimize significant testing required to meet MIL-STD
  • Reduce time to market and limit design effort
  • Deploy within size and weight constraints
