Low cost mobile e-scan radar system

The Blighter Revolution 360 mobile e-scan radar from UK company Blighter Surveillance Systems is designed to address the growing need for low-cost and lightweight mobile radar surveillance systems within the military market and in commercial and state security applications. Consuming less than 100 watts of power and with a 38kg mast payload, the system detects small and slow moving targets, even in cluttered environments, thanks to the radar’s coactive frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) doppler

Blighter Revolution 360 e-scan radar
The 7543 Blighter Revolution 360 mobile e-scan radar from UK company Blighter Surveillance Systems is designed to address the growing need for low-cost and lightweight mobile radar surveillance systems within the military market and in commercial and state security applications.

Consuming less than 100 watts of power and with a 38kg mast payload, the system detects small and slow moving targets, even in cluttered environments, thanks to the radar’s coactive frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) doppler fasts-scan processing. The radar can detect a walking person at 7.4 kilometres or a large moving vehicle at 22 kilometres. Blighter Revolution 360 is designed for vehicle or trailer mast-mounting and revolves around its mast, allowing it to sit beneath an integrated electro-optic camera system.

With its wide 20o continuous elevation beam coverage, which can be increased to 40o via an optional motorised tilt option, Blighter Revolution 360 is suitable for mobile deployment in hilly or mountainous areas.

    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou

However, there remain issues from manufacturer to manufacturer with interpretation of what are supposed to be common standards The 'promise' of Ethernet was that different devices such as IP video cameras and traffic signals could be easily integrated into communications networks, simplifying the process of transporting data over copper, fibre or wirelessly. However, although Ethernet devices have come to pre
