Product catalog summary
Introduction
FARAD is an advanced radar system designed for dynamic Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurements of stealth-like flying targets. It is customizable, expandable, and provides accurate measurements quickly. The system is self-powered, easy to deploy, and fully transportable, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Operation and Performance
  • Embedded target tracking optimized for short-range RCS dynamic measurement.
  • Aircraft follows planned trajectories and is automatically tracked by FARAD.
  • Fast operation with highly accurate data output.
  • Integrated post-processing capabilities with a unique software tool and database.
  • High sensitivity due to fast waveform generation and integration techniques.
  • Transportable and easy to set up, minimizing service outages and manpower needs.

Composition
  • Consists of two modules transportable by a van and trailer.
  • Antenna subsystem includes RX/TX radar antenna, target tracking, and positioning equipment.
  • Control equipment and post-processing computers housed in a van.
