Surveillance radar S³ MIMO

The challenge
Airborne platforms are increasingly confronted with a dense, dynamic environment in which both cooperative and non‑cooperative targets must be detected, classified, and tracked in real time.
At the same time, secure exchange of mission data and situational awareness between allied forces is essential.

Our solution
The Smart Short-range Radar Sensor (S³ MIMO airborne solution) is a state-of-the-art multi-function communication radar based on the Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) principle.
It has the ability to detect and track cooperative and non-cooperative targets as well as transmit and receive information with allied forces. Easy to install on any flying platform, multiple S³ MIMO systems can be used simultaneously to generate a 360° coverage and ensure the full protection against ground and air targets.

Features

• Ku-Band allowed for radar and communication application
• Compact design
• Very low peak radiated power: 34 Watts
• Mounted barebone with external cooling or as stand-alone with integrated cooling
• Non-US regulation dependent

Benefits

• Ideal support for Software Defined Defence (SDD) with future-proof and fast integration of new modes through software update
• Cognitive radar control for optimal adaptation to the environment
• Avoid mechanical movements and increase tracking capability with active electronically steered antenna (AESA)
• Scalable for 360° coverage without interferences: a central station is required for synchronization
