Marine OTH Radar
The high-frequency over-the-horizon radar OTHR technology is well suited to protect the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The unique beam-forming software of our OTHR system is the key component for the ship detection and tracking application to identify fishing pirates or smugglers far behind the horizon.
The low-noise non-interrupted FMcw mode of operation provides the best range/transmit-power performance on the OTHR market. This allows the operation with quite low power levels to get a range of up to 200 nautical miles.
The flexible data interface allows to use the provided ship tracks in multi-sensor networks. In addition to that the OTHR data can be used for environmental protection applications, SAR or Tsunami Detection in parallel, making it a real dual use system.
Seeing far behind the horizon
Fast and accurate software beamforming of the National Dynamics DWC Integrated-OTHR system is the key component for time sensitive ship-detection applications. For users like Navy or Homeland Security, our OTHR systems offer the perfect toolset to identify fishing pirates or smugglers even far behind the horizon.
To achieve high-quality results, interference problems are drastically reduced by our multi-frequency systems, which offer automatic frequency management and frequency hopping. Customer-specific visualisation of targets and the capability to implement multiple sensor trackers makes it easy to integrate the OTHR system into existing coastal surveillance systems.
Our OTHR systems are currently operational on three continents, but because these applications are always built under strict confidentiality agreements we are limited in providing information.
