Meteksan showcased the Retinar AESA radar at IDEF 2023, offering enhanced detection and tracking capabilities for UAVs and tactical targets. The radar has applications in mobile counter-UAS systems.
Meteksan has debuted a new active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar during the IDEF exhibition held last week in Istanbul.
The Retinar AESA will be able to detect and track mini/micro-UAVs, loitering munitions, 'kamikaze' drones and tactical UAS.
Retinar AESA is already in production and service and is marketed in a number of applications with the baseline system operating in the S-band with detection range against a helicopter stated to be 20km, a tactical UAV or a human 10km and a very small drone 4km.
