RADA Successfully Completes Testing "On-The-Move" Capabilities of its Tactical Radars
June 16 2017 - 8:30AM
RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ:RADA) today announced the
successful completion of a major milestone, significantly advancing
the operability of its tactical radars for the maneuver force,
providing the ‘On-the-Move’ (OTM) operation.
The OTM capability of aerial surveillance, while
the radar-carrying vehicle is performing its operational missions
on-the-move is a highly desirable and very important operational
requirement by tactical maneuver forces, especially when
encountering low, slow and small-sized threats such as armed drones
and tactical unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Dov Sella, RADA’s CEO,
commented, "Since inception of our radars, we have
considered the OTM technical and operational capabilities in their
design, and we have now matured these products to address the
urgent OTM needs of our customer base. We are very happy with the
performance of our radars under these very demanding conditions. We
are confident that the availability of this advanced capability
will broaden and expand our customer base through increased demand,
and will ultimately grow sales of our tactical radars in the near
future."
The capability was recently demonstrated to a
strategic customer under a field test which was highly successful.
The radars demonstrated early detection, continuous and accurate
tracking of a wide variety of small-sized, low and slow aerial
targets from a continuously moving vehicle on varied terrain.
RADA’s upgraded RPS-42 MHR-based counter-drone radar systems with
OTM capability will be delivered to this particular customer, as
well as others, in July 2017.
RADA has implemented the OTM capability on its
family of Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radars (MHR) and Compact
Hemispheric Radars (CHR) by integrating its radars with Inertial
Navigation System (INS). In addition, it has implemented and
completed the testing of the sophisticated algorithms and signal
processing techniques required for OTM.
RADA’s Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar (MHR) and
Compact Hemispheric Radar (CHR) are S-band, software-defined,
pulse-Doppler, active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars.
The radars introduce sophisticated beam forming capabilities and
advanced signal processing, which can provide for various missions
on each radar platform and demonstrates an unprecedented
performance-to-price ratio. The radars are compact and mobile,
enabling multiple-missions on each radar, and work while
on-the-move. RADA has sold over 200 radar systems to-date, to
various global defense customers.
