NAVAL RADAR SYSTEMS SITUATIONAL INTELLIGENCE, THE WORLD OVER

Kelvin Hughes - in service with 30 navies world-wi For two centuries Kelvin Hughes has been a key supplier to the UK Royal Navy and since the introduction of radar into naval service has been the premier supplier of navigation radars to the RN. First with the Type 975 Radar in the 1950s and 60s, the Type 1006 Radar in the 1970s and 80s and the Type 1007 Radar, currently in service since 1988, and nowthe innovative spirit of Kelvin Hughes continues and has found its most recent expression in SharpEye™, the first solid-state pulse doppler navigation and situational awareness radar. The...

'NASAR' and SharpEyeTM New Threats Demand New Solutions SharpEyeTM is a radical departure from convention due to its low power RF architecture. Traditional navigation radars use short high power (typically 25-30 kW) pulses of microwave energy to detect objects on the sea surface, SharpEyeTM transceivers have a nominal peak output power into the antenna of just 200 W, operating with duty ratios of up to 13%. This high duty ratio, made possible by the advanced transmitter design and pulse compression techniques in the receiver, results in an equivalent transmitted peak power of 200 kW when...

SharpEyeTM E/F and I Band Transceivers Solid-State Radar Solutions The SharpEyeTM I and E/F Band transceivers are new generation navigation and short-range tactical surveillance radars exceeding the enhanced performance requirements mandated by the IMO under IEC 62388. The I Band SharpEyeTM will replace the existing Type 1007 and similar I Band navigation radars which are in service in both surface warships and provides the level of logistics vessels performance that is required for a future NASAR sensor, whilst at the same time delivering a system that is economically sustainable...

SharpEyeTM Specification and Features Operation in the 9300 MHz – 9500 MHz section of the NATO I Band Ÿ 200 W peak power into the antenna system operating with duty ratios of up to 13% Antenna rotation rates of 24 or 46 RPM Ÿ Ÿ Operation in the 2900 MHz – 3100 MHz section of the NATO E/F Band 200 W peak power into the antenna system operating with duty ratios of up to 10% Antenna rotation rates of 12, 24 or 46 RPM Ÿ Simultaneous long and short-range operation Ÿ Solid-state transmitter for high reliability Ÿ Digital Pulse Compression Ÿ Pulse Doppler processing for rain and sea clutter...

NMD - Naval MANTADIGITAL Display Navigation Features Innovative Technology NMD is driven by Kelvin Hughes’ latest commoncore processor system. The system can be a stand alone radar or can provide multi-function capability when integrated into a bridge system. In either case NMD delivers exceptional performance together with minimal through-life costs. Flexibility A large range of display and control options are available to meet differing bridge configurations and customer requirements. NMD will operate with the full range of Kelvin Hughes radar transceivers and will provide exceptional...

NMD - Naval MANTADIGITAL Display The NMD allows the simultaneous display of two radar PPIs showing different ranges from the same radar or from different radars. This allows the operator to conduct operations on short range whilst being able to assess the tactical or navigation safety The NMD allows the display of a helicopter approach flight path graphic to suit the ship and helicopter in use. The approach path displays height indications at 0.25 NM intervals based upon a 3° glidepath. The origin of the approach path, its offset relative to the ship and the flying course are all The NMD...

2007 Transceiver Magnetron-Based Down-Mast I and E/F Band Transceiver NMD Dimensions / 2007 Transceiver To compliment the solid-state radar range, Kelvin Hughes is able to offer a magnetron-based radar transceiver solution. The KH2007 Radar is available in both I Band (3 cm) and F Band (10 cm) with a range of antennas available to suit the size and role of the vessel. The transceiver is smaller and lighter in weight than previous models and is fully compatible with a range of display options. The KH2007 is particularly suited to platform configurations where a down-mast solution is...
