A Phased Array Radar is an advanced antenna system composed of numerous small, individual radiating elements. Unlike traditional mechanically-steered dish antennas that must physically move to point their beam, a phased array steers its beam electronically. It does this by precisely controlling the phase of the radio waves transmitted and received by each element. By introducing tiny time delays (phase shifts) across the array, the system can constructively and destructively interfere the waves to form and direct a highly focused beam in a specific direction. This process, known as beamforming, can be accomplished in microseconds, offering a level of agility impossible for mechanical systems.
Producing a high-performance Phased Array Radar is a complex process demanding precision engineering and stringent quality control. Our manufacturing process is certified under ISO 9001:2015, ensuring every unit meets the highest international standards. With a design lifespan exceeding 10 years and an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of over 20,000 hours, our systems are built for long-term, reliable operation in critical environments.
Materials: Aerospace-grade 6061-T6 Aluminum for structural integrity and thermal management. High-frequency Rogers/Arlon laminates for PCBs to minimize signal loss.
Process: All materials undergo rigorous incoming quality inspection (IQC) for chemical composition and dimensional accuracy.
Process: T/R module housings and antenna array backplanes are machined using 5-axis CNC machines for sub-millimeter precision. Automated Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) is used for PCB assembly in a Class 10,000 cleanroom environment.
Process: T/R modules are precisely mounted onto the array backplane. Laser welding is employed to ensure hermetic sealing, protecting sensitive electronics from moisture and contaminants. Integration with the central signal processor and power distribution network follows.
Process: Each assembled radar undergoes extensive testing in an anechoic chamber to calibrate beamforming accuracy and measure performance against specifications. Environmental stress screening (ESS) is performed per MIL-STD-810G standards, including vibration, shock, and temperature cycle tests (-40°C to +65°C).
Process: A final quality assurance check verifies all functional parameters. The system is then securely packaged in custom-engineered crates for safe worldwide delivery.

AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) and PESA (Passive Electronically Scanned Array) are two types of phased arrays. A PESA uses a single central transmitter/receiver, and the signal is fed to all elements through phase shifters. In contrast, an AESA, which our systems utilize, has a T/R (Transmit/Receive) module for each individual element. This provides superior performance, including higher power, better efficiency, simultaneous multi-beam capability, and much greater reliability due to graceful degradation.
We use a combination of specialized materials for optimal performance. The main structure and housing are crafted from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior thermal conductivity to dissipate heat from the electronics. The intricate circuit boards use high-frequency laminates from manufacturers like Rogers Corporation to minimize signal loss at microwave frequencies. The outer radome is made from a specialized composite material that is nearly transparent to radio waves while providing robust protection (IP67) against environmental factors.
Our Sentinel-AESA-3D is designed for efficiency, typically consuming less than 500 Watts per 90° panel. It can operate on a wide range of AC (90-264V) or DC (24/48V) power inputs. Installation is flexible; the system can be mounted on standard masts, towers, buildings, or vehicles. A stable mounting platform and a standard Ethernet connection for data are the primary requirements.
Our system operates in the X-band, which is specifically chosen for its excellent balance of resolution and all-weather performance. While extremely heavy rain can cause some signal attenuation (a phenomenon known as "rain fade"), our radars employ advanced signal processing algorithms, including MTD (Moving Target Detection) and CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate), to automatically compensate for weather clutter and maintain a high probability of detection with a low false alarm rate.
The calculated MTBF for the Sentinel-AESA-3D system is over 20,000 hours. This high reliability is a direct result of its AESA architecture, which has no moving parts. Furthermore, the concept of "graceful degradation" means that the failure of individual T/R modules (which are themselves highly reliable) does not cause a catastrophic system failure, but only a marginal and often imperceptible decrease in performance, ensuring the system remains operational for critical missions.
Absolutely. Integration is a core part of our design philosophy. The radar outputs data in standard, open formats like JSON, XML, or custom TCP/IP streams. This allows for straightforward integration with virtually any modern Command and Control (C2) software, Video Management System (VMS), or broader Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) platform. We provide a comprehensive SDK and API documentation to facilitate integration.
Due to the solid-state design with no moving parts, routine maintenance is minimal. It typically consists of periodic visual inspections of the radome for damage or debris and ensuring power and data connections are secure. The system includes built-in test (BIT) capabilities that continuously monitor system health and will automatically report any faults, which can then be addressed by our support team, often remotely.
