Advanced / Enhanced Compact Hemispheric Radar (aCHR / eCHR)

Unrivaled Combat Operational Experience

Sharing the same cutting-edge software-defined, multi-mission, 4D AESA pulse Doppler radar technology, the aCHR and eCHR radars provide outstanding protection for the maneuver force.

While the aCHR is tailored for Active Protection Systems (APS) Vehicle Protection Systems (VPS) and Hostile Fire Detection (HFD), the eCHR is optimized for Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) and Very Short-Range Air Defense (VSHORAD) missions. Both these advanced radars offer best-of-breed radar sensors for air defense and active defense against all types of aerial threats.

Advanced / Enhanced Compact Hemispheric RadarKEY FEATURES:

  • Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) antenna, GaN amplifiers
  • Software-defined, digital, with adaptive beam forming
  • Hemispheric search and track with four radars
  • Extremely fast volume coverage
  • Wide range of threat velocities
  • Interoperable via Standard interfaces
  • High immunity through Electronic Counter Countermeasures (ECCM)

MAIN ADVANTAGES:

  • Deployed on operational APS / VPS and VSHORAD systems
  • Superior performance against low signature targets (RCS, Velocity, Altitude)
  • Multipath and clutter handling through advanced antenna topology
  • Multi-Mission ‘one radar does it all’
  • Automated operation through advanced signal processing and algorithms
  • Complete dynamic Air Situational Picture (ASP) mounted on tactical vehicle or vessel
  • Unique low-probability-of-detection features (aCHR)
  • Ballistic survivability by antenna & radome construction (aCHR)
  • Advanced antenna topology (MIMO) provides extended accuracies, multipath and clutter handling
  • Handles hundreds of targets through Track While Search (TWS) and Revisit modes
  • In-depth 4D analysis of Doppler and other target features
  • Highly cost-effective SWaP-C superiority
