• Consolidates LPRF and Processor into one LRU
• Retains all core radar modes• Does not require physical or electrical modifications for F-16 platform
• Applications for fire control, weather, and detection applications with minimal modification
Tweet Us Your Radar Questions Using #DeltaRadar
Delta Radar: Antenna
• Updated control electronics to mitigate current component obsolescence
• Duotech-manufactured slotted arrays and waveguides
• Overall MTBF greater than current systems
Tweet Us Your Radar Questions Using #DeltaRadar
Delta Radar: Transmitter
Existing transmitter is single point failure tube based technology
Low Mean Time Between Critical Failure
Expensive to remove, repair and replace
Operational readiness is decreased
Tweet Us Your Radar Questions Using #DeltaRadar
Delta Radar: Transmitter
Solid State Transmitter provides graceful degradation. No single point failure so radar can continue to operate.
High reliability (MTBCF up to 10X). Mean Time Between Critical Failure increases by magnitudes over tube based transmitter.
Lower sustainment cost due to less frequent failures and modular design. Up to 90% Reduction in Operation & Sustainment costs
High reliability, high efficiency transmitter leads to greater operational readiness. Lower phase noise and higher CIFLower Out of Band Emission to reduce interference from adjacent radar and other transmitters.
