Rafael’s Sky Spotter™ is a passive early warning threat detection system, able to detect from modern jets to small size unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The system, according to the manufacturer, has a high sensitivity and can detect targets in distances over tens of kilometers, operating complementary to legacy radar systems.
Sky Spotter™ features short wavelength infrared (SWIR) as well as midwave infrared (MWIR) sensors, day sensors as well as advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) for automation and image processing.
The main advantages of the system are summarized in that it is passive, unaffected by radar’s inherent challenges such as electronic warfare and countermeasures used by the enemy (i.e aircraft) as well as unaffected by the low active radar cross-section (RCS) of stealth aircraft.
Sky Spotter’s wide field of view (WFOV) sensors work jointly with Narrow Field of View (NFOV) investigation sensors, acting as powerful telescopes and allowing zooming-in on selected targets. The system operators can manage up to 4 separate sensors simultaneously, each with two channels (MWIR/SWIR/CCD).
