Blighter Secures Contract for Innovative Surveillance Solutions

In a significant move for defense technology, Blighter Surveillance Systems has recently announced that it has secured a follow-on contract from a military customer in Southeast Asia. The contract involves the supply of Blighter's B400 series radars for advanced border surveillance, crucial for monitoring diverse terrains susceptible to infiltration.

Blighter, known for its innovative electronic scanning micro-Doppler radars, will provide these sophisticated systems to be integrated into specialized military vehicles. This integration aims to ensure prompt deployment in strategic areas facing threats, allowing seamless monitoring across uneven landscapes, including rugged mountains, dense jungles, arid desert areas, and coastal lines.

James Long, the CEO of Blighter, expressed the company's enthusiasm about this extension of its existing partnership, highlighting that these radars have been successfully utilized in the region for several years. He emphasized the importance of extending surveillance capacities to more effectively safeguard borders amid evolving threats.

Advanced Technology for Real-time Response

The B400 radar's advanced features include flexible deployment capabilities. These radars can be mounted on specialized vehicles for quick mobility, trailer-mounted for height elevation in inaccessible areas, or deployed on tripods in challenging terrains.

A notable innovation of the B400 series is the technology's solid-state design that eliminates moving parts, enhancing reliability while reducing maintenance challenges. The low power consumption of just 4 watts makes these radars an environmentally efficient choice for continuous operation.

Enhanced Operational Coordination

Coupled with BlighterNexus software—an AI-assisted platform—the new radars ensure seamless integration with existing surveillance systems. It enhances situational awareness by maintaining a common operating picture (COP) across multiple sensors and enabling operators to effectively detect, identify, and classify potential threats ranging from individuals to vehicles and even aerial entities.

With this integrated approach, security personnel can monitor border regions more effectively, thus mitigating operational gaps and reinforcing communication among response teams tasked with addressing potential incursions.

Proven Trust Across Global Defense Forces

Blighter's radars are already trusted by various defense forces globally, including the UK Ministry of Defence, the South Korean Army along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), and the US Air Force for drone detection operations. The company’s radars are also utilized by several Five Eyes/NATO allies for mobile surveillance and armored vehicular deployments.

Since its inception, Blighter has been at the forefront of radar technology, introducing the world’s first non-rotating solid-state electronic-scanning micro-Doppler ground radar in 2003. Today, their platforms encompass an extensive range of use cases across land, air, and naval domains with models including the B400 and its relatives like C400, A400, and A800.

Future Prospects

Blighter remains dedicated to enhancing its product line by adapting to the evolving surveillance needs of defense forces, ensuring optimal safety for nations. Their ongoing partnership with local systems integrators reinforces theircommitment to contribute meaningfully to the global security landscape.
