The B422LR Border Surveillance Radar
Border security teams face the challenge of monitoring vast and often remote territories. Blighter’s B422LR is a purpose-built, long-range radar system designed to deliver persistent surveillance in all environments. With it’s solid-state, electronically scanned technology and low-power design, it enables early threat detection and rapid response, supporting border and homeland security agencies worldwide.
Persistent All-Weather Detection
Operates in extreme climates, from deserts to mountain ranges
24/7 performance with no mechanical moving parts
Early Warning at Long-Range
Detects a walking person up to 15km away
Vehicles and larger targets detectable up to over 30+ km away
Simple Integration
Compatible with command and control systems
Integrates with third party sensors through BlighterNexus for full situational awareness
360° Surveillance
Our standard system set-up comprises dual back-to-back 180° radars. This provides synchronous scanning ahead and behind a tower for optimal situational awareness. In flat desert conditions, our N5S antennas provide extended range with a narrow, focussed beam, which allows for the detection of small targets at the longest possible line-of-sight ranges.
Shadow Boost Technology
B400 Series radars include our Shadow Boost technology, this halves the minimum detection range when radars are mounted on tall masts or towers. This provides border forces with the ability to detect and intercept threats quickly.
Long-Range Border Surveillance
Blighter radars use the international Ku-band radar frequencies to achieve the best long-range person detection on standard 30 to 40m border surveillance towers, where radio multipath propagation effects actually boost the performance of our radars when compared to X-band radars at the same height.
