FACT SHEET B400 Series Radar n Long range radar suited to fixed, mobile and portable applications n Modular scanning from 90° to 360° n Detects moving vehicles and persons n Fully electronic scanning (E-Scan) for ultra-high reliability n Unsurpassed ground clutter suppression with low false alarm rate n Choice of antenna horns for optimal coverage across all types of terrain Blighter B402 Radar (shown with W20S Antenna Horns) W20S Antenna Horns M10S Antenna Horns N5S Antenna Horns Blighter surveillance products address a broad range of security requirements in the defence, homeland security and civil/commercial markets. Blighter radars are part of a range of advanced Plextek technologies that provide class-leading protection against both conventional and asymmetric/terrorist threats. Blighter B400 series radars scan and detect Low-power FMCW Doppler Technology moving vehicles and persons (including Blighter radars incorporate a unique combination of ‘crawlers’) over a wide area and provide FMCW and Doppler processing technology, ensuring exceptional range performance out to 32 km. unsurpassed ground clutter cancellation with the ability to detect incredibly slow movement. Radio Detected targets are reported via wired or wireless transmission power is very low, making the radar safe TCP/IP network connections, allowing target for human operation and difficult to intercept recognition and identification through the automatic (i.e. electronically covert). Power consumption is low, slew-to-cue of optional cameras or thermal imagers. allowing operation from battery, vehicle or mains. Accurate positional information is reported, including target lat/long co-ordinates, range and bearing. The Wide Elevation Beam data bandwidth required for target output and radar In order to maximise long-range detection control is very low. performance, radars are typically mounted high on a tower or on top of a hill. However, when mounted Electronic-scanning (E-Scan) in this way, the narrow vertical elevation beam of The B400 series is Plextek’s latest generation of traditional radars results in the problem of ‘dead e-scan ground surveillance radars (GSR). E-scan ground’ close to the radar. Blighter radars benefit radars have no moving parts to wear-out, maintain from having a very wide vertical elevation beam, or replace and offer dramatic improvements in allowing them to simultaneously detect targets in reliability. Blighter radars are all-in-one fully the distance as well as close-up. In complex integrated units comprising antennas, signal mountainous regions, the Blighter radar’s wide processing, plot extractor, GPS and compass. elevation beam also ensures that hill tops and Angular coverage is provided in modular units of valleys can be scanned simultaneously, without the 90°. Blighter radars are proven to withstand harsh need to physically tilt the radar. Over flat land environmental conditions and provide many years of and calm water, the wide beam also provides maintenance free operation. The radar operates in rapid detection of low flying manned and unmanned all weather conditions and includes a built-in aircraft including planes, helicopters, UAVs, precipitation filter that suppresses false detections microlights and hang gliders. from rain or snow. Day/night 24-hour operation is fully supported.
