U.K.’s Blighter Surveillance Systems, will supply the Blighter B400 series E-scan micro Doppler ground surveillance radars to India’s Mumbai-based Tata Power Company. Tata Power will deploy these radars as part of the Indian government’s Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System that aims to establish a multi-tier security system — including ground surveillance radar, thermal cameras, unattended ground sensors, seismic vibration systems, fences and fence protection systems — to protect the country’s international borders.
This radar delivers a 24x7x365 all-weather persistent surveillance capability and can operate in all terrains allowing hills, mountains, plains, riverine territories and marshes to be scanned simultaneously, without the need to tilt the radar. The wide beam can also detect low flying manned and unmanned aircraft.
“Our radar’s passive electronically scanned array technology and wide elevation beams are a big advantage for border security and were a key factor in securing this Indian contract,” said chief executive Mark Radford, “as they allow the radars to be mounted on towers, buildings and other infrastructure and to surveil an area of over 1,800 square miles in just seconds.”
