Spotter Global has announced the launch of its GAX500-3D, “built on Compact Holographic 3D (CH3D) radar technology that detects and tracks live drone threats of all varieties, as well as ground threats with unprecedented speed, three-dimensional accuracy, and reliability.”
“Where previous systems have used Electronically Scanned Arrays (ESA) methods similar to a narrow-beam flashlight ranging back and forth to review large areas, the GAX500-3D uses a volumetric exposure, similar to a wide-area floodlight, that spends 100% time on all targets and collects target location data of 50 targets over the full-volume of space every 56 milliseconds,” says the company. “This means the GAX500-3D scans the entire sky thirty-two times faster than legacy ESA competitors; while older technologies might update a single tracked target at 10 Hz, they can only scan the full-volume of space to discover new threats once every 1.8 seconds.”
“Traditional radars act like a flashlight in a dark forest—if you aren’t pointing it at the threat the moment it moves, you miss it. In a drone swarm scenario, you can’t afford to blink,” said Logan Harris, CEO of Spotter Global. “By using CH3D™ technology to provide 100% volumetric coverage 18 times every second, the GAX500-3D ensures that security managers aren’t just reacting to threats, but are maintaining total, uninterrupted ‘stare’ capability over their most critical assets.”
The system has a detection range of 500m on 3 kg drones, the GAX500-3D is built for high-priority and high speed mitigation scenarios
