Naval radar surveillance

Our SCANTER X-band Navigation, Surface Search and Short-Medium Range Air Surveillance Radar Systems are complete radar sensor systems with proven small target detection capability to assist authorities in efficiently monitoring illegal activities such as drug trafficking, smuggling, illegal immigrants, piracy, illicit fishing, terrorism, etc. It is perfectly suited for high-definition ship navigation, sea surface surveillance and short-medium-range air surveillance.

At an affordable price, the SCANTER radar systems are specifically designed to enter service where the commercial marine radar fails to meet the requirements for noise and interference rejection, signal processing, electronic interfacing, signal distribution, and resistance to a tough environment.

We have accumulated a deep and thorough know-how about radar sensor technology comprising advanced signal processing and high performance antennas specifically tailored for small target detection in rough weather conditions. Terma's SCANTER naval radar sensors are operational in navies worldwide.

The SCANTER naval radar systems comply with the justification and operational requirements on board naval vessels to:

• Provide backup to primary surveillance radar system
• Assist on-board tactical task functions
• Helicopter landing control
• Perform sea and short-medium range air surveillance with automatic target tracking
• Provides versatile interface capability for all versions of C-Flex C2/CMS and other onboard display and control systems
• Provide safe navigation for year-round operation.

Compared with systems with higher transmitter output power, the increased sensitivity and high dynamic range of the SCANTER radar system is advantageous, especially considering:

• The need to minimize radar emission while optimizing target range detection
• The avoidance of receiver saturation in case of jamming.
