Kelvin Hughes has received type approval for its SBS-700-2 radar system in China, the company announced on 9 May.
Part of Kelvin Hughes's family of shore-based radar systems, the SBS-700 has been specifically developed to meet the operational requirements of port, harbour and river traffic operators as well as government agencies responsible for the protection of coastal and littoral zones.
The radar features magnetron technology, incorporating a high dynamic range, a low noise front end and a field effect transistor modulator to improve range discrimination.
The radar system is suitable for deployment as a single radar site and can also be integrated into a larger radar sensor network using industry standard protocols.
Adrian Pilbeam, VP, Kelvin Hughes, said: ‘This is excellent news for Kelvin Hughes. Securing this type approval for the SBS-700-2 will allow us to respond to China’s rapidly expanding vessel traffic service and coastal surveillance market.’
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
