Essex Corporation Launches Software Configurable Radar System

Essex Corporation announces the launch of its software configurable radar system as a product. This product, the Multi-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar system or MB-SAR, is the first radar product of its kind on the market, offering the flexibility of changing and optimizing radar collection in real time using software controls. This system uses commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and operating system software combined with proprietary Essex technology. This breakthrough product is based on over ten years of research and development in the processing and analysis of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and images.

"Conventional radar systems have been built and deployed for a predefined specification which limits their ability to adapt to changing missions and threats," according to Leonard Moodispaw, CEO and President of Essex Corporation. "MB-SAR is the first SAR system that can be tuned via software controls, thereby enabling dynamic tasking of the system based upon the collection objectives of today's missions, while they are in progress."
