The SPIDER 940 is a mobile, rapid deployment, continuous scanning surveillance radar optimized for the simultaneous detection of both air and surface targets.
It forms part of the 900 StealthRad product range of Low Cost, Light-weight, Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars.
FMCW provides a cost effective way to achieve coherent operation and the low transmitted power levels make StealthRad ideal for covert operations. The low power levels also increase reliability and reduce component costs.
The antenna, transceiver and signal processor are integrated into a single line-replaceableunit, which is mounted on a deployable frame. An integrated power generator supports autonomous operations at remote sites.
The SPIDER 940 can be transported on a 1 ton pickup truck (single or double cab), with the antenna stowed away to fit in the vehicle envelope. Deployment is quick and simple on or off the track. The radar display is available for the local operator and can be easily integrated into control centers via suitable communication links.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Border control operations
Monitoring of private and unattended airfields
Rapid deployment surveillance operations
Monitoring of coastal traffic (both sea and air)
Monitoring of activities on inland lakes
Multi-role radar gap filler
MODE OF OPERATION
Continuous scanning surveillance. The unique architecture of the StealthRad continuous scanning surveillance radars allows them to be optimised for both surface and air targets at the same time. This enables the Stealth Rad to be deployed in littoral situations as well as on inland water areas, where it can serve in both the air surveillance and surface surveillance role.
SYSTEM FEATURES
High mobility
Rapid deployment
Local and remote (via wire or wireless network) operation
