DeTect's HARRIER™ Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Systems

HARRIER™ System

DeTect's HARRIER™ Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) system is built on the company's proven HARRIER™ Airspace Surveillance Radar technology. By automatically detecting both cooperative (transponder-equipped) and non-cooperative aircraft, the system enables the safe expansion of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS).

The HARRIER™ Airspace Surveillance Radar technology has been utilized by Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operators and counter-drone system developers since 2008. It is widely deployed as a Ground-Based Detect and Avoid (GBDAA) solution, providing reliable airspace surveillance and collision avoidance capabilities for BVLOS flight operations.

HARRIER aircraft detection systems are available in both fixed and portable configurations, including custom vehicle-mounted installations designed to meet specific operational requirements. These flexible deployment options allow the system to support a wide range of commercial, industrial, governmental, and defense applications.

HARRIER™ BVLOS Radar System Features

HARRIER™ BVLOS radar systems incorporate a comprehensive range of advanced features and capabilities, including:

• Solid-state Doppler S-band or X-band radar with a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 50,000 hours.

• Detection of both cooperative (transponder-equipped) and non-cooperative aircraft at ranges of more than 20 miles (32 km).

• Secondary Traffic Advisory System (TAS) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) interrogators for cooperative aircraft detection and data acquisition.

• Automatic target classification using DeTect's proprietary SmartSensor™ technology.

• Simultaneous detection of UAVs, drones, ultralight aircraft, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft of all sizes.

• Optional integration with Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) cameras for automatic target cueing and visual verification.

• User-defined risk zones and airspace violation boundaries with automated response capabilities for both fixed installations and mobile UAV operations.

• Complete remote operation and real-time radar and video display for multiple users through secure network and web-based interfaces.

• Real-time situational awareness delivered directly to wireless and cellular devices, including smartphones and tablets.
