About Blighter (www.blighter.com)

Blighter Surveillance Systems employs 40 people and is located near Cambridge, UK. Blighter designs and manufactures world-beating 2D and 3D electronic-scanning ground-based radars, which can accurately detect drones, people, vehicles and boats at large distances.

Its radars are key sensors in surveillance and counter-drone applications, and are used in more than 35 countries around the world, delivering 24/7 security protection along national borders and coastlines, at military bases, and to protect manoeuvre force missions when deployed on military land vehicles and trailers.  Blighter’s radars also play a key role in guarding critical national infrastructure (CNI) sites such as airports, power plants and oil and gas facilities.

Protecting Critical National Infrastructure

Guarding an airport or nuclear power plant has traditionally relied on fences and surveillance cameras, but the growing threat of drone attacks has made watching the skies increasingly important. Harry Lye speaks to Blighter Surveillance Systems about protecting critical national infrastructure.

As the threat from #drones grows, so does our response. Blighter’s CEO Angus Hone and Co-Found & CTO Mark Radford spoke to Harry Lye at Global Defence Technology about how to protect Critical National Infrastructure.

Blighter’s Co-Founder and CTO – Mark Radford – features in JR Wilson‘s article for Military & Aerospace Electronics.

Blending electro-optical sensors, radar, sonar, unmanned vehicles, and good old-fashioned human patrolling represent the latest approaches to keeping the nation’s waterways safe from terrorism, spying, and sabotage.

The United States has always depended on water transport to import, export, and distribute goods. As the nation expanded from 13 East Coast colonies to a nation ranging from Maine and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the East to Alaska and Guam in the West, the movement of goods by ocean and rivers became even more important — and remains so to this day.

Companies in the counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UASs) domain are pursuing advances in radar technology to detect smaller systems at greater ranges.

The theme was central to the new systems displayed by several companies at the 2019 Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) exhibition, which was held in London in mid-September, with several companies outlining recent advances on the detection side to Jane’s .

UK-based Blighter Surveillance Systems, for example, announced new enhancements to its A400 series C-UAS air-security radar, which is designed to make it better able to detect and report low, slow, and very small UASs up to 3.6 km away.

American troops in Syria and Iraq have helped to destroy more than 500 Islamic State drones using a British-made £1.5 million device.

The zapper, developed by a consortium of three small companies, scans unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from up to six miles away, locks on to their position and jams the signals that are controlling them. It can tackle swarms of drones at once if necessary.

Each drone is either forced to the ground or suspended in the air until it runs out of power.
