A high technology radar from Blighter Surveillance Systems in Cambridge UK is being targeted at the US homeland security and commercial airport markets.
Blighter Surveillance Systems has teamed up with thermal imaging specialist Liteye Systems Inc – which worked on security at the London Olympics – to distribute its radars throughout North America.
Liteye has already sold combined Blighter radar and Aquila PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) thermal imaging surveillance systems into a number of strategic sites in North America, including Centennial Airport in Colorado.
The partners will promote a complete range of Blighter ground surveillance radars – including the new Blighter Revolution 360 radar, the long-range Blighter B400 series radars, the vehicle-mobile Blighter B303 radars and the man-portable Blighter B202 Mk 2 radars. The agreement will also include local manufacture and assembly of radars.
Mark Radford, CEO of Blighter Surveillance Systems, said: “We believe the combination of our low cost Blighter e-scan ground surveillance radar with Liteye’s rugged, low profile, three camera system is a compelling solution for many security applications, in particular for commercial airports and the homeland security market.”
Blighter technology is said to provide a maintenance free 24-hour all-weather surveillance capability.
Tom Scott, president of Liteye Systems, said: “We are excited to be representing and supporting Blighter Surveillance Systems in North America. Blighter’s the only e-scan radar to offer coactive FMCW Doppler fast-scan capability, and this gives it the edge over other e-scan radars in heavily cluttered environments such as those found in commercial airports.
“Teamed with our Aquila thermal camera platforms Liteye can now offer unparalleled surveillance performance, not only creating superior security for a facility or location, but also helping to enhance other areas of operations, such as wildlife management.”
Blighter Surveillance Systems radars are used worldwide in commercial, government and defence markets in area and asset protection for national border security, homeland security, critical infrastructure protection such as airports, coastal surveillance, and in military applications.
Liteye Systems’ Aquila line of thermal imaging products are targeted to the defence and security markets, as well as VIP and high value facility protection. The Aquila thermal imaging surveillance systems were deployed as part of a multi-agency security operation, successfully protecting the London 2012 Olympics.
