It uses digital beamforming technology to deliver wide-area coverage and rapid threat detection while keeping power requirements low.<\/p>\n
The radar detects small drones at ranges beyond 3 kilometers (1.9 miles), humans at 6 kilometers (3.7 miles), and light vehicles at more than 12 kilometers (7.4 miles).<\/p>\n
A single radar panel covers a quarter of the horizon and can scan high into the sky. Four panels can be combined to provide 360-degree coverage.<\/p>\n \u201cSmall unmanned aircraft continue to present growing security challenges across military installations, airports, and other key infrastructure sites worldwide,\u201d said Rob Tarantino<\/strong>, senior vice president of Surveillance at Teledyne FLIR Defense.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Ranger R10-3DX gives operators an affordable, compact, and highly capable radar solution that delivers the early warning and tracking performance needed to counter evolving drone threats.\u201d<\/p>\n AI Helps Sort Drone Threats<\/strong><\/p>\n Built to withstand harsh conditions, the radar reportedly meets US military standards and can be used in fixed-site installations or on mobile platforms.<\/p>\n It can also integrate with electro-optical\/infrared sensors and other mitigation systems, allowing operators to combine detection, tracking, and countermeasures in a layered air defense setup.<\/p>\n AI-powered target classification helps distinguish drones from aircraft, birds, and false threats, giving operators clearer information to assess potential dangers and respond faster.<\/p>\n The Ranger R10-3DX can also track multiple targets simultaneously, a capability that could prove useful when defending against groups of drones.<\/p>\n Teledyne FLIR Defense expects the radar to become available in early 2027.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Harper_Opener.jpg\")
