BAE Systems completes new multiple object tracking radar

British aerospace company BAE Systems has announced the completion of prototype tests of its new Multiple Object Tracking Radar (iMOTR) in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

According to the company, the iMOTR is a mobile instrumentation radar capable of providing precise data on multiple objects.

It reportedly uses low-cost phased-array technology from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to enable high performance.

During the trials, BAE Systems demonstrated the system’s ability to meet critical key performance standards in terms of range, transportability, accuracy, and beacon tracking.

The tests also included the gathering of time-space-position using airborne test vehicles.

“BAE Systems continues to invest in expanding iMOTR’s technical capabilities and to refine its requirements to support military weapons and protection systems development,” the firm said in a press release.
