Why us

Expanding UAV industry

For the drone industry to thrive, multiple UAVs must be able to operate simultaneously, performing widely diverse tasks without impacting commercial aviation.  These UAVs must be capable of effectively detecting and avoiding other objects in flight and landing safely in all conditions. And the regulators must be convinced that this can be achieved without compromising public safety and security time and time again.

The SOLUTION in virtually every other market is RADAR based.

Our Expertise

We have more than 50 years’ experience and expertise in radar antenna design, and we are a first mover in developing low SWaP (Size, Weight, Power, and cost) radar systems specifically for drone deployment.

Our proprietary radar software has been developed in house specifically for the UAV industry. It is drone-agnostic and has been designed for seamless integration with any drone enabling seamless integration onto any UAV via an intuitive Application Programming Interface (API).

Ultralight Radar Technology

Our unique radar technology, which employs the FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) methodology, has been developed in a compact, low power form factor with no moving parts. Additionally, our radars are highly sensitive and offer a high spatial resolution over long range, with a robust capability to penetrate fog, smoke, and dust.

Their precision and accuracy are unmatched in adverse weather and/or poor light conditions, outperforming optical sensors, LiDAR, infrared cameras and laser systems. We utilize a 4D radar design and we measure the range, bearing (azimuth), elevation, and direct velocity from the Doppler measurement. 

Our Portfolio
