4D radar – drone detection radar

MADDOS Radar is an advanced software-defined, pulse-Doppler radar platform that can host various operational missions, which can be executed either separately or time-interleaved. It has an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) S-Band antenna using GaN technology that covers over 90º in azimuth and 90º in elevation. With 4 radar panels as a system, 360-degree coverage is achieved. Radar incorporates advanced signal processing technologies and adaptive algorithms to further enhance its efficiency and effectiveness. These systems minimize clutter and false positives, dramatically improving the accuracy of target identification and tracking. High-quality, real-time data processing supports decision-making in dynamic and challenging operational environments.

MADDOS RADAR is a combat-proven SHORAD/C-UAS system. It performs well against low signature targets (RCS, Velocity, Altitude). The system features automatic self-calibration and can operate on the move (OTM) while mounted on a tactical vehicle or vessel.

MADDOS Radar provides features that allow operational flexibility against different threats of different sizes and operating with different velocities without changing hardware. The AESA flexible beamforming provides predefined search beams, dynamic tracking beams, improved detection performance by forming multiple overlapping search beams, and Track-While-Search (TWS) capability.

The technology behind MADDOS Radar’s 4D radar system is designed to deliver superior surveillance capabilities by leveraging range and angular resolution, as well as velocity measurement, which is derived from the Doppler shift of the returned signals. This 4D radar technology is crucial in environments where high-resolution detection, tracking, and classification of objects are required across large volumes of space, making it highly effective for defense, security, and aviation applications.

Integrating Machine Learning algorithms enhances the radar’s capability to swiftly distinguish between different types of aerial objects. This feature ensures that MADDOS Radar can rapidly adapt to emerging or unforeseen aerial threats, providing a robust defense mechanism. Such drone detection radar systems advancements place MADDOS at the forefront of modern defense technology, ensuring readiness against conventional and unconventional aerial threats.
