The SMART-S Mk2 is an Off-The-Shelf (OTS), 3D,
long range, S-band radar with integrated
Identification Friend or Foe (IFF). A multibeam
radar with a modularized, solid state
transmit/receive array, the SMART-S Mk2 is
designed around standard interfaces, and its
fully digital waveform generation and processing
are hosted on scalable commodity OTS signal
processing equipment.
The SMART-S Mk2 design is ideal for a small
(single radar) ship operating in the littoral
environment and is produced with advanced 21st
century radar technology; capable of deriving
and displaying quantitative, militarily
actionable information to support littoral-zone
warfare missions—from deep to shallow
water—detection, fast accurate location, and
characterization of even stealthy or
intrinsically low-contrast targets.
The SMART-S Mk2 has a highly parallel
architecture and is built with solid state
components. This architecture allows for
graceful degradation; the need to replace
antenna LRUs at sea is greatly reduced,
replacement can be postponed until the ship is
in the harbor.
