Blighter has secured a follow-on contract from an undisclosed military customer in Southeast Asia to supply B400 series radars for border surveillance.
Designed to improve situational awareness, the systems enable operators to detect, track, and classify small surface targets and near-ground aerial threats.
The B400 radars feature a compact, modular design and employ low-power frequency-modulated continuous-wave electronic scanning, enabling the precise detection of moving targets over wide areas.
The systems can detect and identify vehicles and individuals at ranges reaching 32 kilometers (20 miles).
Additionally, the radars will be paired with Blighter’s AI-assisted BlighterNexus software, enabling integration with existing sensors and providing operators with a common operating picture across strategic border regions.
Deployment will be handled by a local systems integration partner, who will mount the radars on specialized army vehicles for rapid movement to border hotspots.
The radars can also be trailer-mounted on elevated masts or dismounted and installed on tripods in locations inaccessible by vehicle.
