Artisan 3D Advanced radar, target indication, situational awareness & navigation

A trusted partner We are at the forefront of radar technology, delivering sensor systems that give commanders superior situational awareness and targeting solutions.
Artisan 3D optimises medium-to-long range air and surface surveillance plus weapon systems target designation. Its architecture, developed from proven technology, is future-proofed. Artisan 3D has been selected by the Royal Navy as its main medium range surveillance and target designation radar for surface ships. Key performance features: Realises the full potential of modern anti-aircraft warfare (AAW) missile systems and is adaptable for future ship defence weapon systems Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components provide high operational availability and reliability Provides unrivalled performance in the littoral, particularly detecting of fast inshore attack craft and small airborne targets in clutter Delivers the track quality for air traffic management Fulfils secondary navigation role Makes a significant contribution to tactical situational awareness in the primary sensor role World beating electronic protection measures maintain detection ranges even when attacked by complex jammers A software-centric radar, enabling ease of capability upgrade Electronic stabilisation will give a smaller, lighter masthead envelope and higher reliability.
