Rethinking radars
The Coast Control Radar is a next generation, phased-array, non-rotating and software defined radar designed for installation on existing infrastructure, such as buildings, towers and waterway bridges. Matching the requirements of an extreme littoral environment, it offers a step-change in coastal surveillance.
This electronically scanned array radar provides the awareness required to protect your coast and secure your maritime borders without high installation and maintenance costs. It excels at identifying objects, regardless of their size, speed, or distance. It can simultaneously track numerous objects and provides high-resolution detail even on smaller targets.
Proven modern technology
Saab is now making the power of AESA radar technology, typically found in military applications, available for dual-use purposes. Our Coast Control Radar leverages this advanced phased array technology, renowned for its reliability and performance, and combines it with our deep expertise.
Customers worldwide rely on Saab for fast and accurate information through extended range and volume coverage. Superior update rate and state of the art, proven, clutter suppression maximises the time available to act in critical situations.
Compact design, complete coverage
With its minimal size footprint and low weight, the Coast Control Radar offers easy installation compared to larger traditional rotating systems. It can also be installed to discreetly blend in and its modular design allows it to be combined for up to 360° coverage.
Increased availability, reduced life-cycle cost
The Coast Control Radar provides unrivalled system availability, with very high Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) and advanced Built-In Test (BIT) capabilities, greatly lowering maintenance and repair costs over time.
Reduced service intervals, minimal operator training and condition-based maintenance contribute to minimise the total life-cycle cost.
