2 SCANTER 1002 Radar System
The SCANTER 1002 Ground Surveillance Radar (GSR) is designed to perform
ground surveillance of high-sensitivity areas and critical infrastructure.
The SCANTER 1002 radar is a Ku-band, 2D, fully coherent pulse compression
radar, based on Solid State transmitter technology with digital software-defined
functionality.
Both the radar transmitter and receiver, the signal processing electronics, the
embedded tracker and the antenna are enclosed inside a radome, giving an
extremely compact and portable system.
SCANTER 1002 meets the requirements for professional GSR, where detection of
slow and fast-moving targets in adverse weather conditions is required.
Terma’s proven pulse compression technology, Frequency Diversity (FD) com-
bined with the unique discrimination between stationary and slowly moving targets
gives a truly high-end surveillance radar system.
SCANTER 1002 uses Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) transmitter technology,
which ensures long service life and high availability.
A receiver with low noise and superior dynamic range provides high resolution and
detailed radar images, in all weather conditions, with no need for operator interven-
tion. Combined with the advanced moving target filtering software, the system is
able to discriminate a walking or crawling man from the background clutter, even in
rain.
An embedded tracker (ET2) using Interacting Multiple Model technology and Multi
Hypothesis Tracking is integrated in the radar unit to detect and track agile and
small targets in severe weather conditions. The tracker is also used to detect large
vessels. Information to track surface targets is obtained from a combination of nor-
mal radar and Doppler-processed signals.
