Dstl develops new radar tracking system
The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has developed a new radar tracking system to help protect UK military personnel and equipment during operations around the world.
According to the Ministry of Defence, the Moonlight system uses machine-learning algorithms to gather data on radars around the globe, many of which are used by hostile nations to track and potentially threaten UK military operations. Moonlight automatically updates the position of more than 10,000 radars every day, providing much greater accuracy on the location and identification of radars in near real time. The data is used to improve planning and post event analysis of UK-supported joint maritime, land and air missions.
Jamie Thomas, a Warrant Officer with the Royal Navy, said: ‘Moonlight provides a mission critical input into the UK’s maritime operational picture at the Maritime Operations Centre.
‘Moonlight data is fused with other sources to provide situational awareness as well indications and warnings to deployed frontline units. This is critical to support the decision-making process and is key to providing success on operations on a daily basis.’
Dstl is now designing a version for NATO, which will improve the alliance’s ability to identify and locate threat radars.
