Terma Unveils Revolutionary Drone Detection SCANTER 5000 Series Radars: A Game-Changer in Surveillance

Defense News ,Denmark :- In a groundbreaking move, Terma, a Danish company, has just unveiled an innovative drone detection capability integrated into its land-based SCANTER 5000 series radars. This development comes hot on the heels of the successful implementation of a similar technology in Terma's SCANTER 6000 series, designed for naval surveillance back in October 2022.

The newly introduced drone detection system harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, elevating its analytical capabilities to unprecedented levels. By accurately analyzing incoming data, the radar can now distinguish drones from other flying objects, such as birds and aircraft, with exceptional precision. What's truly remarkable is the SCANTER 5000 series' detection range, reaching up to 10 kilometers for 5 kg drones, surpassing most competitors in the market. This extended range provides operators with invaluable response times, significantly improving situational awareness and response efficiency.

The system operates through a meticulous four-step process: Detect, Track, Classify, and Identify. This method ensures the highest level of confidence in the results, offering precision where other solutions have often fallen short.

Jesper Tolstrup, Chief Specialist in Radar Products & Programs at Terma, expressed his excitement about the release, stating, "We are thrilled to introduce our groundbreaking add-on, a true game-changer in drone detection technology. With its unparalleled precision, comprehensive data analysis, and impressive range, our counter-drone capability sets a new standard for the industry."

Terma's drone detection technology is designed to cater to various radar applications, including ports, coastlines, offshore platforms, and critical infrastructure. Its versatility proves particularly valuable for safeguarding wind farms and maritime oil platforms. Moreover, the technology can be deployed in civilian airports for drone detection and bird monitoring, thereby enhancing safety and security in multiple domains. Terma's innovative solution is poised to redefine the landscape of surveillance technology, setting a new benchmark for precision and efficiency in drone detection.
