Man portable radar
Encyclopedia
Man-portable radar is a lightweight surveillance radar
system that it does not require vehicle support to transport or operate. Man-Portable radar was developed to introduce radar to remote areas where vehicle support is not feasible.
Blighter (Battlefield LIGHTweight E-scan Radar) B202 Mk 2 is an advanced E-Scan radar
with no moving parts for high reliability in the field. Its weight is about 15 kg and is therefore truly man portable, about the weight of a machine gun and less than half the weight of other Man Portable Radars.
Blighter B202 Mk 2 can operate off small batteries unlike others in its class which are really vehicle bounded. Blighter B202 Mk 2 is phase coherent and has very low probability of intercept
due to its very low peak power.
Blighter B202 Mk 2 also includes high quality Doppler audio and is a "Multi-Mode and Multi-Role" RADAR. The modes including RADAR modes for quick scan ('Vortex Fast-Scan') with audio for fast search and long dwell modes small scan for high probability of detection of crawlers also can be used with Doppler audio for target recognition. Most suited to covert ops and border surveillance as multiple Blighter radars can coordinate in ad-hoc networks and sequence their radar emissions to form border surveillance over very long lines of control ('Blighter MultiWatch').

Radar is an object-detection system which uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. The radar dish or antenna transmits pulses of radio...

MSTAR
Man-portable Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar (MSTAR) provides long-range, wide-area surveillance and detection in an over-watch capability. The weight is about 30 kg.SpotterRF
SpotterRF Compact Surveillance Radar (SpotterRF) is a new class of surveillance radar called Compact Surveillance Radar that provides range and azimuth detection and tracking of moving people and vehicles at up to 1.5 km away in a small light weight package (<2.1 kg). Compact Surveillance Radar applies the technology in the telecommunications industry to reduce the size, weight and cost of radar.External links
