LightWave Radar is a software-defined radar technology platform that offers high-quality, low-cost, and flexible solutions for a wide range of surveillance missions. Its low unit cost and low radiated power allow for the deployment of more radar sensors, creating a distributed surveillance network with enhanced 4-dimensional coverage. It is particularly effective in general air surveillance, UAS/UAV missions, and wind farm interference mitigation.
- Increases target detection probability and extends detection range beyond a single radar.
- Provides target height extraction and 4D surveillance capabilities.
- Eliminates the cone-of-silence and enables WAM capability with ADS-B at each site.

aBDUT LIGHTWaVE RaDaR LightWave is a high-quality, low-cost, flexible, “software-defined” radar technology platform that can serve a broad range of surveillance missions by re-configuring its run-time parameters. As a fully standalone radar, Lightwave’s low unit cost and low radiated power enables more radar sensors to be deployed in a given geographic area, creating a distributed surveillance network that achieves significantly higher quality 4-dimensional surveillance coverage at a lower price point than competing radars. LightWave excels in applications ranging from general air surveillance,...
