SURFACE SCOUTShort – Medium Range Covert Surface Surveillance Radar
Technical AspectsSURFACE SCOUT operates in J-band (upper part of the former X-band). The transceiver is located behind the antenna to prevent unnecessary losses in long wave guide runs. This also ensures ease of installation. The connection to the below deck equip-ment is made by a single, thin cable.The dual array antenna of SURFACE SCOUT guarantees optimal isolation between the receive and transmit path, which is essential for good long-range performance of an FMCW radar.
Configuration SURFACE SCOUT consists of two parts: the above deck antenna system with integrated transceiver and a below deck processor unit. The processor unit contains Doppler processing and detection and track-ing and can deliver video and track data directly to a C&C system. If required, the high resolution SURFACE SCOUT video can be fed to a navigation radar console for ‘covert navigation’.
