Blighter Surveillance Systems (‘Blighter’, www.blighter.com), the British designer and manufacturer of electronic-scanning radars and surveillance solutions is set to exhibit at the 15th annual Border Security Expo next week, showcasing the recently launched A800 3D multi-mode drone detection radar, as well as other cutting-edge radar platforms. Following the first appearance of the A800 radar at DSEI 2021, Blighter will be displaying the A800 at Border Security Expo and conducting a series of demonstrations at La Copa Ranch on the 31st March.
Blighter’s A800 radar (www.blighter.com/a800) offers an innovative ground-based solution to threat detection, utilising multi-mode surveillance capability usually reserved only for large-scale radar systems and packaging it into a smaller, more flexible radar with a maximum range of 20 km. The A800 3D multi-mode radar is ideally suited to border and perimeter surveillance, capable of being mounted to fixed towers and masts, as well as to land vehicles and mobile surveillance trailers.
The Border Security Expo is an annual international trade fair with accompanying conference on border security, taking place from 29-30 March in San Antonio, Texas. Blighter will be exhibiting on JGW Group’s stand (no. 733). Alongside the A800, visitors will also find a trailer-mast mounted A400 series radar.
Border Security Expo Demo Day
Blighter will also be hosting demonstrations of its equipment at the Border Security Expo Demo Day on the 31st March at La Copa Ranch, to an audience of specialists and customers.
Last year the Cambridgeshire-based manufacturer was selected to provide advanced integrated B400 series target acquisition radars for a fleet of Armoured Fighting Vehicles, demonstrating the company’s agility in providing the versatile systems required for such a demanding and mobile role. In July 2021, Blighter’s US partner JGW Group also delivered demonstrations of the highly mobile A400 series radars’ ability to detect and track sUAS targets. Most recently, Blighter won a contract to provide surveillance for offshore and onshore oil facilities in West Africa.
Angus Hone, CEO of Blighter Surveillance Systems said:
“We are excited to reconnect with our community and US colleagues in San Antonio next week. The event offers an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our cutting-edge radar solutions to a diverse audience of stakeholders and industry. We look forward to joining our partners and customers at Border Security Expo and exhibiting Blighter’s game-changing detection capabilities.”
