In an era of evolving threats, from illegal migration and drug trafficking to sophisticated drone activity, Blighter’s radars for Border Security, are designed to safeguard remote and formal boundary crossings. 

Advanced Radars for Border Security

Traditional physical barriers and manual surveillance methods are often cost-prohibitive or impractical to deploy across challenging terrains. Blighter delivers a smart, scalable and secure, technologically advanced solution to protect national frontiers.   

Blighter radars feature patented clutter removal algorithms to allow detection of crawlers and other covert targets, and a mechanically robust design to operate ultra-reliably in all environments.

Our commitment to National Security

Blighter works closely with defence and homeland security forces to support national sovereignty. Our technology is designed to excel when: 

  • Detecting people, vehicles and unusual ground movement across terrains 
  • Monitoring large perimeters with minimal infrastructure 
  • Operating continuously in extreme climates, from -35° up to +65°
  • Providing actionable data in real-time, when integrated as part of a wider surveillance system.  

Blighter has a proven track record of success in sensitive environments such as the Korean Demilitarised Zone, where we have been trusted to protect over 250km of the DMZ consistently for over 15 years.  

UK-Made Technology, Trusted Worldwide

Blighter radar systems are proudly designed and manufactured in the UK, ensuring full control over quality, security, and compliance. Deployed in over 40 countries, our aerial threat detection technology is trusted by defence and homeland security agencies around the world.

Blighter radars integrate seamlessly into broader sensor networks to deliver a complete, real-time situational awareness picture, as part of a multi-layered surveillance solution.

At the heart of our radar systems, is BlighterNexus, our smart, scalable, and secure software platform. BlighterNexus simplified integration, enhances sensor fusion, and delivers powerful command-and-control (C2) capabilities, enabling end-users to detect, assess, and respond with speed and confidence.
