Active radar homing emulator (ARHE) can be remotely controlled to switch ON/OFF and between both sweeping and target acquisition modes by the target operator. Easily integrated into QinetiQ’s Banshee target system, it can provide a fast mobile radar source that can be operated at altitudes as low as five metres to simulate sea skimming attacks, or multiple units can be operated simultaneously to provide multiple threat scenarios.
The system operates in X band and can be installed to provide either vertical or horizontal polarisation, and a variety of radar pulse configurations can be programmed into the system to enable operation against a variety of receiving equipment. It is easily tailored to suit individual customer requirements.
