Blighter's A800 radar offers an innovative ground-based solution to threat detection, utilising multi-mode surveillance capability usually reserved only for large-scale radar systems and packaging it into a smaller, more flexible radar with a maximum range of 20km. The A800 3D multi-mode radar is ideally suited to border and perimeter surveillance, capable of being mounted to fixed towers and masts, as well as to land vehicles and mobile surveillance trailers.

Located at Stand G15.4, Blighter's showcase is highlighting the B400's applications for border security as a vehicle-mobile or fixed-tower solution capable of high performance in extreme heat conditions.

Last year, the Cambridgeshire-based manufacturer was selected to provide advanced integrated B400 series target acquisition radars for a fleet of Armoured Fighting Vehicles, demonstrating the company's agility in providing the versatile systems required for such a demanding and mobile role. In July 2021, Blighter's US partner JGW Group also delivered demonstrations of the highly mobile A400 series radars' ability to detect and track sUAS targets. Most recently, Blighter won a contract to provide surveillance for offshore and onshore oil facilities in West Africa.

Angus Hone, CEO of Blighter Surveillance Systems said: "This is an exciting time for our industry as key calendar events for national security, such as Security & Policing and Border Security Expo, are set to reconnect our community. We also could not miss the inaugural World Defense Show which is an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our cutting-edge radar technology to a wider audience. We look forward to joining our partners and customers at these shows and exhibiting Blighter's game-changing detection capabilities."
