XY-SAR-AESA-POD

In the rapidly evolving domains of airborne surveillance and terrain mapping, traditional imaging systems frequently fail under adverse weather conditions or when mission profiles require high-resolution data from compact platforms. The XY-SAR-AESA-POD addresses these critical challenges by offering a portable airborne radar operating in the X-band. Engineered for seamless integration, this system overcomes the limitations of standard optical sensors, ensuring mission success in degraded visual environments.


The XY-SAR-AESA-POD represents a benchmark in portable radar technology, leveraging an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) antenna to deliver exceptional operational agility and reliability. The system is designed specifically for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and manned aircraft operators requiring high-resolution SAR imagery for terrain mapping, border monitoring, and critical infrastructure inspection. With all-weather operational capability, it delivers a decisive advantage across security, surveillance, and environmental management sectors.


Key Features

  • AESA Radar Antenna: Advanced active electronic scanning technology for precise electronic beam steering and multi-mode operation.
  • High-Resolution SAR Imaging: Capable of generating detailed synthetic aperture radar imagery for comprehensive situational awareness.
  • Multiple Imaging Modes: Versatile operating modes tailored to dynamic mission profiles and operational requirements.
  • Platform Versatility: Optimized for straightforward integration across both tactical UAVs and conventional fixed-wing/rotary aircraft.
  • All-Weather Performance: Reliable operation independent of cloud cover, smoke, fog, or ambient lighting conditions.

Key Benefits

  • Unmatched Mobility: Compact footprint and low weight (antenna unit: 6.9 kg) allow installation on smaller, cost-effective host platforms.
  • Sub-Meter Precision: Range and cross-range resolutions down to 20 cm enable identification of critical infrastructure details.
  • Extended Operational Range: High-efficiency X-band operation with 55 dBm transmit power ensures broad area coverage.
