OVERVIEW
ELTA’s ELM-2180 WatchGuard is a fifth generation movement detection tactical Ground Surveillance Radar (GSR), providing both staring and electronic steering search techniques. Featuring a high update rate, the radar enables very high probability of target detection and tracking to support complex missions, while the combination of staring and scanning allows adaptation and optimization of radar operation for any scenario.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Simultaneous multi-mode operation combining staring and scanning programmable search regime
- Single Module Pulse Doppler Radar (SMPDR)
- Digital Beam Forming (DBF)
- Internal calibration with extensive BIT capabilities
- Flexible modular design to support different range and sector coverage
- Track-while-scan supporting up to 300 targets
- Very quick and easy deployment
Values & Benefits
The WatchGuard is a solid-state, small size and low weight Active Electronically Scanning Phased-array (AESA), multi-beam all weather radar providing high accuracy detection data, either locally or to remote Command and Control (C&C) systems.
The radar covers 90° to 360° by employing 1 to 4 stationary (non-rotating) phased array antennas, each covering a sector of 90°.
The high update rate and combination of staring and scanning techniques ensure very high probability of target detection and tracking for complex missions.
Its compact, lightweight design and modular antenna sectors allow deployment in a variety of operational scenarios and terrains.
