SCANTER Radar Systems Suited for Coastal Surveillance

Optimal security of your coastline requires a clear situational overview of your territorial waters and economic exclusion zone at any given moment. A coastal surveillance solution offers a clear situational picture of your coastal and maritime domains.

The SCANTER radars offer fully automatic surveillance systems capable of early and quick detection of all objects of interest. Our radars can track multiple air and surface targets simultaneously, ensuring your coastline is always protected from unauthorized access. This is possible due to the extended horizontal range, which offers an accurate and immediate situational picture of your coastline, including both surface vessels and air targets.

At Terma, we have more than 70 years of experience with radar technology. This extensive knowledge has resulted in more than 3.000 solutions that protect borders around the world. As of today, 65% of coastal surveillance relies on our SCANTER radar detection systems.

Tailored to Your Coastal Surveillance Needs

The surveillance of your territorial waters is an evolving task. Therefore, we offer technical solutions tailored to your specific coastal surveillance needs, as well as easily adaptable solutions as those needs change.

The SCANTER radars are essential tools for coastal surveillance. The coastal surveillance application detects all boats and other vessels of interest. Combined with low-level air coverage, this could be the optimal solution for your port.

If demands change, upgrading to even higher levels of protection is possible. Our SCANTER radar series also offers full air coverage, so that neither surface vessels nor aircraft can cross your borders undetected.  

The SCANTER radar series can easily be used in combination with a Terma 19’ compact antenna or with smaller antennas, making the solution applicable even in small spaces.

Benefits

How our radar solution helps protect your coastline and the benefits you get.

Real-time recordings

The coastal surveillance solution lets you track and record activity in your territorial waters and EEZ. Our solutions keep watch over your protected areas and offer recordings of your radar tracks. By having access to these recordings, you can detect patterns in illegal activities.

Increased reach

Our coastal surveillance solution is a high-resolution situational awareness solution. By combining both surface and air surveillance, you will get 360 coverage 24/7. The horizontal detection range is up to 96 nmi and covers up to 98.000 km2 of coastal surveillance.

Fully automatic surveillance

The SCANTER radars for coastal surveillance offer fully automatic surveillance solutions with early warnings and tracking of targets of interest along your coastline. Our SCANTER radars can detect and separate multiple surface or air targets in close proximity.
