Projects

X-Band Man Portable Doppler Radar (MPDR-X)

Defense

Project details

A low-power, multifunction phased array radar system designed for weather detection, short-range air defense, and drone detection. The system operates in single and dual beam modes to address critical tactical scenarios, simulate adversarial Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) for training, and support forward-deployed special operations units.

Rain, Ocean, Atmosphere Radar System (ROARS)

Federal · 2024 · Client: NOAA

Project details

A dual-beam, X/Ku-band, 2D electronically scanned radar system designed for airborne sea-surface and atmospheric measurements. Deployed on NOAA's P-3 aircraft for winter weather missions, it measures significant wave heights, precipitation, ocean surface vector winds, and 3D atmospheric boundary layer winds.
