Radar aimed at countering UAS to be launched by Numerica at AUSA 2024
NewsOctober 11, 2024
WASHINGTON. Numerica plans to launch its new Spark multimission sensing platform -- what the company terms a wideband hemispheric radar -- during the upcoming AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition, set to be held from October 14-16 in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
Spark is a wideband hemispheric radar that enables sensing for active protection systems (APS), short-range air defense (SHORAD), and counter-uncrewed aircraft systems (C-UAS) in a single package.
According to Numerica's preshow announcement, Spark radar leverages wideband phased-array technology, advanced on-radar software, and accelerated computing to improve detection and targeting of short-range RPGs, ATGMs, other high-speed kinetic vehicle threats, and hostile uncrewed aircraft systems (UASs) -- these hostile craft include one-way attack (OWA) drones, first-person view (FPV) aircraft, and top-attack threats.
Spark's technology provides a software-defined, high-performance solution that meets the demands of modern vehicle protection and short-range air defense applications, said Jeff Poore, president of Numerica.
AUSA attendees may visit Numerica at Booth #3054.
