Terminal Area Radar – Military (Transportable)

Illustrated in the main picture opposite is Easat’s Tactical Deployable Air Surveillance Antenna. This type of antenna can be supplied either trailer-mounted or palletised. The antenna system is self-contained and capable of being transported by ship, aeroplane, helicopter or by being towed to site.

The design provides for rapid deployment in less than 30 minutes from arrival at the operating location.

The palletised version (shown on opposite page in the deployed mode) has 4-ISO corner locations on the pallet for transportation by standard road transport or purpose-built trailer. The Trailer version shown below in the transport mode has a weight of 1954 kg. It can also be supplied housed in an ISO container of which IFF/SSR antenna can be mounted and folded into the ISO container.

The antenna is a dual frequency band, carbon fibre composite based reflector which operates at S-band (2.7-2.9 GHz) .Three states of polarisation (linear horizontal, left-hand circular and right-hand circular) are provided for S-band beam by use of polarisation-switching capability. At L-band, the antenna operates in IFF/SSR by use of three beams: sum, difference and omni. These features combine to provide leading-edge RF performance from the antenna system.
