DRS RADA radar deployed on position: non-rotating AESA panels on a tripod in rocky terrain
SOFTWARE-DEFINED RADAR

Detection. Tracking. Protection.

Compact solid-state radars from DRS RADA Technologies: non-rotating AESA with full hemispheric coverage and no moving parts.

S-Band AESA GaN Software-Defined Non-Rotating Solid-State Combat-Proven Leonardo DRS
APPLICATIONS

One architecture, many missions

A non-rotating, solid-state AESA architecture runs multiple missions concurrently, with no moving parts.

01

Counter-UAS (C-UAS)

Detection, tracking and classification of small unmanned aerial systems.

02

Short-range air defense — VSHORAD

Detection and tracking of aerial threats for very-short-range air-defense (VSHORAD) fire units.

03

Counter Rocket, Artillery & Mortar — C-RAM

Detection and localization of rockets, artillery and mortars.

04

Hemispheric air surveillance

Continuous hemispheric air picture for maneuver forces and command posts.

05

Perimeter & border surveillance (3D)

Persistent 3D surveillance of fixed sites, perimeters and borders.

06

Vehicle active protection (APS)

Sensor input for active protection systems — covered by the compact CHR, not RPS-42/RPS-82.

PRODUCT LINE

A family of hemispheric radars

A shared software-defined, non-rotating AESA platform (S-band, GaN). Exact figures are per official datasheets, on request.

AVAILABLE We supply both MHR-family platforms — RPS-42 and RPS-82.
RPS-42 MHR
Multimission Hemispheric Radar

Base platform for C-UAS, VSHORAD, C-RAM and hemispheric surveillance. S-band AESA with GaN, on-the-move; smaller antenna means shorter range.

RPS-82 ieMHR
Improved & Enhanced MHR

Same missions as RPS-42 but with a larger antenna — substantially greater range and coverage. S-band AESA with GaN, on-the-move.

COVERAGE DIAGRAM

1 panel = 90°. 4 panels = 360°.

One panel covers 90° in azimuth; four interchangeable radars deliver full 360° hemispheric coverage. Coverage is formed by fixed AESA faces, not mechanical rotation.

1 panel — 90° in azimuth
4 radars — full 360°

Diagram is illustrative. Deployment geometry per official datasheets.
