GAMEKEEPER 16U

Counter-UAS Radar

Gamekeeper 16U, based on our unique Holographic Radar technology, is optimised for the detection of small Unmanned Air Systems (sUAS) in 3 dimensions at a range of up to 7.5 km.

PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

The Gamekeeper is currently deployed at some of the world’s largest airports as part of their counter-UAS strategies. It has been deployed standalone as well as integrated with other sensors (EO camera, RF Scanner) and C2 systems.

DETECT, TRACK AND CLASSIFY

Targets within the 3D coverage volume are detected, tracked and classified in real time at a range of 7.5km. A clear and detailed intelligence picture ensures maximum peace of mind for operators at airports and other sensitive sites.

FUTURE-PROOF TECHNOLOGY

As a software defined radar, the Gamekeeper can be continuously updated as UAS and customer needs change.

UNIQUE HOLOGRAPHIC RADAR

Designed specifically for detection of small UAS

LONG RANGE
DETECTION

Detection at long range (7.5km) provides early warning

TRACKING IN
3 DIMENSIONS

Allows effective target threat assessment and cuing of other sensors

AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATION

Differentiates UAS from other surface, and air targets including birds

The Gamekeeper 16U is a 3D staring radar based on a 2D array of receivers. This allows the radar to see the entire coverage volume, and all targets, all of the time. It also means that there are no moving parts making it extremely low maintenance.

The Gamekeeper has a coverage range of 7.5km and can see a target as small as 0.01m2 radar cross section at a distance of 5km. Targets can be accurately tracked with an update rate of 4 times per second.

The additional data our Hololgraphic Radar technology is able to obtain, including micro-doppler measurements, supports target classification so that drones can be distinguished from other small targets such as birds.
