HF-Band Shore-Based Marine & Aerial Surveillance Radar System (HSMASRS)
Countries that have a coastline and possess territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) are required to protect their sea territory and shores against military threats, terrorism, illegal immigration, smuggling, unauthorized fishing and various other threats.
To protect such areas, surveillance Radar systems are used as the primary sensor in integrated coastal surveillance systems. Although Radar systems normally operate in the higher bands of the frequency spectrum, the HF (High Frequency) band offers several advantages with regard to long-range (beyond the horizon) coverage of sea areas.
ACS Presents HSMASRS – HF-Band Shore-Based Marine & Aerial Surveillance Radar System.
HSMASRS detects and tracks marine surface targets and low-flying aerial targets in the user country’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), from the shore to well beyond the horizon – up to a range of 200 nautical miles.
Utilizing the ground wave propagation phenomenon (as opposed to sky wave propagation), the HSMASRS Radar generates a wide-angle beam in the HF band to cover a 120-degree sector.
The receiving element of HSMASRS consists of vertical antennae (single array or multiple arrays arranged to enable the use of the phased-array technology).
Additionally, HSMASRS utilizes specialized interference suppression technologies to eliminate the effects of communication noise and clutter.
This Radar setup offers consistent, uninterrupted coverage of the expansive area being covered, with excellent long-range (beyond the horizon) marine and aerial target detection and tracking performance under any environmental conditions, including rough sea conditions.
