Active Protection Systems (APS), Vehicle Protection Systems (VPS), and Hostile Fire Detection (HFD)

Leonardo DRS’ advanced compact, lightweight radar sit at the heart of combat-proven APS, VPS, and HFD applications.

Our multi-mission active electronically-scanned array (AESA) 4D pulse Doppler systems rapidly detect, track and classify all relevant threats – small arms, RPGs, ATGMs, and tank rounds.

Advanced Cutting-Edge Technology for Combat Demands

Leonardo DRS’ latest generation radars support the demand for vehicle protection through the highest performance capabilities:

• Fast and accurate, multiple simultaneous hostile fire detection
• Multi-mission operation in heavily cluttered and saturated environments
• Ballistic protection
• Our family of radars meet and surpass all APS, VPS & HFD operational challenges, making them compliant with the most military standards

Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM)

Leonardo DRS’ tactical radars are deployed by leading armed forces for C-RAM Sense & Warn missions. Our systems detect, track and classify all types of elevated fire during critical missions.

Total Battlefield Awareness

Our radar systems deliver the full spectrum capability needed by tactical forces to make the fastest, most effective response to any aerial attack:

• Immediate detect and track of hostile fire
• Fast, accurate location of point of origin (POO) & point of impact (POI)
• Extremely high probability of detection with very low false-alarm rate
• Early visual / audio alert / warning of incoming threats
• Data sharing over Ethernet to external C4I systems
• View all radar platforms

Our radars also support friendly fire ranging, significantly improving hit accuracy.

Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) and Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS)

Leonardo DRS' all-threat tactical air surveillance radar systems detect, classify, and track all types of aerial threats from small slow and lows to high-performance aircrafts, UAVs, missiles, rockets and mortars.

They are the ideal sensors for MANPAD, VSHORAD, SHORAD, mid-range, and tactical IAMD systems.

Air Defense and C-UAS

Leonardo DRS' air surveillance and C-UAS radar systems are the chosen solution for current and emerging tactical integrated air & missiles, directed energy, jamming, and other threat defeat technologies. These tactical air defense radar systems are also ideal gap fillers, complementing short and medium-range air surveillance systems.

Main Advantages

• Combat-proven
• Compact and mobile for tactical applications to support on-the-move (OTM) operations
• Superior price-performance ratio
• Extremely high elevation coverage
• Can be easily integrated via Ethernet interface
• View all radar platforms

Hemispheric Surveillance Radar Systems

Leonardo DRS' hemispheric surveillance radar systems provide comprehensive border and perimeter surveillance through detection, classification, and tracking of surface and aerial intruders such as pedestrians, vehicles, slow and low aircraft (drones), and small vessels.

System of Choice

Leonardo DRS' hemispheric surveillance radar systems are the solution of choice for borders, coast lines, and critical infrastructures. These radar systems can be integrated with any C4I system and other radars/sensors using a standard Ethernet interface. They can operate as a stand-alone system or as part of a large-scale vehicle-mounted or static surveillance radar system.
