The Challenge
Our client, a world leader in providing state-of-the-art perimeter surveillance systems, wanted a radar capable of long-range detection with a low false-alarm rate.
It required the use of standard industrial components across all system parts and be designed for the lightweight, compact & man-portable form factor.
The Approach
Plextek utilised Passive Electronically Scanned Arrays (PESA) for electronic scanning combining Doppler processing.
Using standard industrial parts minimalises manufacturing costs, and the solution was delivered with no moving parts, eliminating the need for routine maintenance.

The Outcome
Our solution was able to detect the presence of moving personnel and vehicles at a range of several kilometres.
The technology is capable of simultaneous target detection for both close and long-range distances, scanning hilltops and valleys without manually tilting the radar.
We also incorporated low radio transmission power to allow for safe human operation. In feedback, our solution fulfilled all our client’s unique requirements.
