Multi-Mode Ground Surveillance Radar
FTS's WatchGuard (ELM-2180) is a fifth generation of movement detection tactical Ground Surveillance Radars (GSR), providing both staring and electronic steering search techniques. Featuring a high update rate, the radar enables very high probability of target detection and tracking to support complex missions. Combination of staring and scanning allows to adapt and optimize the radar operation for any scenario.
The WatchGuard is a solid-state, small size and low weight Active Electronically Scanning Phased-array (AESA), multi-beam all weather radar providing high accuracy detection data, either locally or to remote Command and Control (C&C) systems. The radar covers 90° to 360° by employing 1 to 4 stationary (non-rotating) phased array antennas, each covering a sector of 90°.
