COUNTER-DRONE RADAR · BUILT IN INDIA

AESA Radar. Made Compact.

Maxmin builds high-performance electronically scanned radars small enough for a mast, a vehicle or a rooftop. One sensor covers drone defence, perimeter security and airspace monitoring.

Active Electronically Steered ArraySeveral small antennas work together to steer the beam in microseconds, with no moving parts.
  • Range-scalable aperture
  • Track-while-scan
  • No moving parts
  • Mounts anywhere

SOLUTION

Maximum coverage. Minimum footprint.

Low C-SWaP: the Maxmin AESA counter-drone radar shown on a tripod carried by one person, on a mast beside a fence, on the roof of a vehicle that can operate on the move, and on a remote weapon station.

Small drones are the hardest targets in the sky. They fly low and slow, they're made of plastic and carbon fibre, and they hide among birds and ground clutter. Most radars were never built to see them. Ours was designed for them from the start.

01

Sees the smallest targets

Tuned to pick out low, slow, small drones against trees, buildings and terrain, where conventional surveillance radars lose them.

02

Never blinks

The beam is steered electronically, not by a rotating dish. It jumps anywhere in the sector in microseconds, so it can watch the whole sky and lock onto a threat at the same time.

03

Tells a drone from a bird

The radar reads the signature of spinning rotor blades and separates drones from birds. Operators get fewer false alarms and can act faster.

04

Deploys anywhere

Low size, weight and power. Mount it on a tripod, a mast, a rooftop or a vehicle, and network several units for 360° coverage.

Designed and manufactured in India to match the performance of leading global systems, at a lower price and with a supply chain you can depend on.

  1. 1

    Illuminate

    The array concentrates its energy into a narrow beam and points it only where it needs to look. Its waveform spreads that energy thin, so it sees far without announcing itself.

  2. 2

    Steer

    An array of transmit/receive elements forms a narrow beam and points it electronically, so the radar can scan, dwell and track several targets at once.

  3. 3

    Detect and classify

    Onboard processing pulls each target's range, speed and micro-motion out of the clutter and labels it: drone, bird or ground mover.

  4. 4

    Hand off

    Confirmed tracks stream to your command-and-control system, cameras or interceptors in standard formats, ready for a decision.

Why it's different

Solid state

No motors, no rotating parts, nothing to wear out in the field.

Low probability of intercept

Low peak power, a tight beam, a spread waveform and agile frequency control leave enemy sensors very little to detect, track or jam.

Built to integrate

Open-standards C2 integration through SAPIENT, ASTERIX and Cursor-on-Target, with development under way for India’s Akashteer and IACCS air-defence networks.
