EWR Radar Systems has been awarded a contract to supply six additional container-based E800LP solid-state dual-polarization weather radar systems to a defence customer in Southeast Asia. This contract brings a total of 13 container-based E800LP radar systems to the region.
According to EWR, its container-based radar solutions enable rapid weather radar deployment in temporary and remote locations. The container features an integrated radar lifting tower – no crane or machinery necessary – with a sliding roof panel that allows the radar system to ‘nest’ inside the container when not in use. It also features a control room with built-in communications and workstations.
The E800LP combines solid-state transmitters, pulse compression and advanced single pulse technology with a compact antenna-mounted RF design. The antenna-mounted RF design was first introduced by EWR in 2012 at Meteorological Technology World Expo.
With EWR’s design, all RF components and electronics are mounted on the back of the antenna, eliminating long external waveguide runs and inefficient rotary joints. The design results in lower infrastructure costs, reduced maintenance, increased performance and easy installation. Its high resolution, rugged design and reliability makes the E800LP an ideal solution for remote and mobile applications.
A primary supplier of tactical weather radar to the United States Department of Defense, EWR produces and sustains weather radar systems for multiple branches including the US Air Force and US Marine Corps.
