“‘Quadome’ features two main operational modes to simplify operator interaction and to reduce operator workload. The new-generation radar features the latest gallium nitride (GaN)-based active electronically steered antenna (AESA) technology and is software-defined. The dual-mode, multi-mission surveillance radar features fast detection and tracking of small, slow and fast targets offers a reliable and stable air picture, with fast track initiation to support longer effector keep-out range. HENSOLDT introduced its newly developed ‘Quadome’ radar system for naval surveillance and target acquisition at the show. An Artificial Intelligence based micro-doppler target filtering feature helps to reduce false alarms and improve the detection of multicopter and winged drones.”īlighter was recently selected to provide advanced integrated B400 series target acquisition radars for a fleet of Armoured Fighting Vehicles.

The radar’s optimised air security mode provides a unique ability to search for low-slow-small (LSS) threats caused by the misuse of small drones including the commonly used ‘DJI Phantom’ style quadcopters. The radar’s main function is to detect and locate consumer ‘hobby’ drones in 3D space.

This will be the first time that the A800 will be available to view in person. “The A800 3D multi-mode radar is ideally suited to border and perimeter surveillance, capable of being mounted to fixed towers and masts, as well as to land vehicles and mobile surveillance trailers. This year’s Defence and Security Event International (DSEI) exhibition marked further progress in counter-UAS technologies being able to detect and mitigate small drone threats at long range.īlighter Surveillance Systems launched its A800 3D multi-mode drone detection radar at DSEI 2021 the radar uses multi-mode surveillance capability usually reserved only for large-scale radar systems and packaging it into a smaller, more flexible radar with a maximum range of 20km.
