In today’s evolving threat landscape, effective aerial threat detection is critical, especially against drones flying close to the ground, which often evade conventional systems.

Precision Radar for Near-Ground Drone Detection

Blighter’s advanced radar technology is purpose-built to detect these hard-to-spot targets, while our advanced BlighterNexus software enables precise tracking and characterisation. This provides teams on the ground with a powerful edge in C-UAS operations.

Ultra Reliable Even in Complex Conditions

Our solid-state radars deliver persistent, all-weather coverage with the ability to detect and track drones at long ranges and low altitudes, even in cluttered or complex environments. Blighter’s aerial threat detection radars give teams complete situational awareness allowing for rapid detection and early threat interception in high-stakes environments.

Engineered for Operational Advantage

Blighter radars are ideal for covert monitoring, as part of a layered counter-UAS surveillance system, thanks to their advanced low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) engineering. They provide unmatched performance in rain, fog and dust across complex terrain and in fluctuating extreme temperatures.

Deployable on fixed masts or towers or mobile systems depending on mission requirements, the modular architecture allows simplified integration into multi-layered surveillance systems.
