Advanced Portable X-band Surveillance Radar Case Study

This case study details the design, development, and deployment of an advanced portable X-band surveillance radar tailored for High-Endurance Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (HEAUVs). The document outlines the operational capabilities required, including 360-degree azimuth coverage and the ability to withstand pressures up to 45 bars, while maintaining compliance with MIL-STD-461G and JSS55555 standards. The project scope encompasses comprehensive system engineering, hardware and software development, and rigorous testing to ensure performance standards are met. The radar system is designed to perform real-time detection and tracking of sea surface targets, significantly enhancing situational awareness for naval defense operations. The study highlights Mistral's expertise in developing a compact, high-performance radar solution that integrates advanced sensors and AI-based navigation, enabling underwater vehicles to effectively safeguard naval assets by detecting potential threats in challenging environments. The document concludes with an overview of the testing and evaluation processes undertaken to validate the system's operational readiness.
