Our modern radars can detect multiple threat types, scan sea to sky, and communicate for distributed operations.

Software Defined Apertures

Our Advanced Technology team is designing the future of radars to be:

Over-the-Horizon Capability

Either with radar-to-radar communications that bounce off the troposphere, or as a high-frequency radar leveraging the ionosphere to sense at extraordinary ranges.

Beyond Conventional Range

Detecting objects hundreds to thousands of miles away and around the curves of Earth.

Flexibility

Bouncing their signal off the ionosphere, then the target, which reflects the energy back to the ionosphere and ultimately to the radar's receiver.
