Radar & sensor solutions

A sensor is only as useful as the picture it feeds. We deliver sensing as a chain: sensor, site, integration, command.

Coverage is designed against the airspace, coastline or ground the customer must actually watch, then built out in fixed-site, transportable and vehicle-mounted configurations. Site survey, civil works and power provisioning are in scope, because a radar without a prepared site, power and a data path is a delivery, not a capability.
