Overview

Professional users are aware of the advantages of solid-state technology in respect of the magnetron one, on the other hand, they are also aware of some limitations such as the ineffective RACON/SART triggering and the higher purchase price. STRAITGARD family hybrid radar systems merge solid-state and magnetron technologies in order to provide the best performance ever, while representing a high value for money, allowing three modes of operations: Solid-State only, Magnetron only, or Combined Frequency Diversity.

Extremely easy to install and set up, STRAITGARD family feature a Plug&Play concept, a distinguishing mark of ICS's radar systems that allow any technician to carry out a smooth installation by following a few and simple steps and without having been previously trained for it.

The radar family offers a wealth of configurations, including a down mast configuration with a separate transmitter suitable to be matched with any third-party antenna, new or existing ones in retrofit programs, making STRAITGARD the perfect choice for a variety of scenarios.

Configuration

STRAITGARD offers a wealth of possible configurations; according to the final scope of use, STRAITGARD can be offered with arrays from 6 feet to 21 feet, and power amplifier 100W-200W and 400W. Small size arrays from 6 to 12 feet are fitted on a reduced footprint, lightweight scanner unit. Arrays 18 and 21 feet are fitted on a reliable 3-phases motor scanner unit, driven by a dedicated Antenna Supply Unit which allows several rotations per minute settings.
