The Blighter Radar Tilting System (BRTS) Mk 2 provides accurate control of the elevation tilt position of individual radar units. Designed principally for use with Blighter’s A400 series air security radars, the BRTS Mk 2 allows the radar to maintain elevation control in situations where it needs to detect and then track flying objects, especially UAVs, at various altitudes and also where terrain variation requires the radar to be tilted in order to maximise ground coverage.

The BRTS Mk 2 includes a linear-actuator-driven tilt angle range of -40° to +40°.

The BRTS Mk 2 is designed specifically for the Blighter product range and offers high reliability in extreme conditions. It provides precise control and feedback of radar position for full integration into the BlighterView HMI. The tilt adjustment speed of the BRTS Mk 2 has been carefully selected to ensure that its movement does not affect the ultra-slow movement detection capability of the Blighter radar.

BRTS Mk 2 includes new features to simplify installation, including a removable radar mounting attachment, tool-less locking pins, and removable actuator mechanism. The position feedback device mounted on each unit measures absolute position from vertical, allowing the BRTS Mk 2 to be rapidly installed and configured to a pre-set value without additional tools.

The BRTS Mk 2 is available for single (‘A402’) and dual radar units (‘A422’) with the second unit being daisy-chained to the first to provide a single serial interface to the Blighter radar system.
