OMEGA360 is the pinnacle of SEASTEMA radar technology: a non-rotating, ubiquitous surveillance radar optimized for detection of asymmetric threats and small RCS targets.

OMEGA360 is the pinnacle of SEASTEMA radar technology: a non-rotating, ubiquitous surveillance radar optimized for detection of asymmetric threats and small RCS targets.

OMEGA360 is an innovative X band multimode radar with fully digital beam forming and capable of facing the most demanding threats in naval warfare and asymmetric scenarios.

OMEGA 360 is an ubiquitous, non-rotating radar: its cylindrical antenna supports 192 receiving pencil beams for simultaneous surveillance over a full 360 degrees. 

OMEGA360, grazie ai suoi fasci fissi e alla loro persistenza sul bersaglio, garantisce un'elevata velocità di inizializzazione e di conferma della traccia e consentendo un'analisi Doppler ad alta risoluzione per distinguere i bersagli dal clutter e discriminare/identificare le potenziali minacce (ad es. i droni, periscopi, missili sea skimmer ecc.) estraendoli dal clutter di fondo o da oggetti irrilevanti come uccelli o detriti.

OMEGA360 fornisce prestazioni ineguagliabili per la sorveglianza ed il rilevamento di bersagli a quote medio/basse e in superficie e risulta essere il complemento ideale a radar 3D o multifunzionali.

OMEGA360 è un radar software-defined: i suoi parametri di funzionamento possono essere regolati riconfigurando gli algoritmi di post-elaborazione per adattare le prestazioni del radar alle esigenze operative. La post-elaborazione del radar può essere utilizzata ad esempio per cancellare il rumore o per proteggersi dal jamming generando le opportune contromisure. Tali caratteristiche, insieme all'agilità di frequenza , rendono l’OMEGA360 particolarmente resiliente ai disturbi elettromagnetici di ogni tipo e categoria permettendogli di operare in ambienti particolarmente sfidanti.

OMEGA360 è un radar a bassa probabilità di intercettazione (Low Probability of Intercept). La sua architettura e la capacità di persistenza gli permette di operare con una bassa potenza di trasmissione.

Grazie alla sua antenna cilindrica fissa e non rotante OMEGA360 riduce al minimo l'usura dei componenti garantendo un elevato MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures).

In a nutshell, OMEGA360 offers operators the following:

  • omnidirectional instantaneous surface and low altitude surveillance

  • target tracking in challenging environmental conditions

  • fast and reliable detection of small moving targets in severely cluttered conditions

  • very long mean time between failures

  • very long time on target thanks to ubiquitous observation and non-rotating antenna

  • unambiguous range coverage of 30 Km

  • Resilience to ECM and frequency agility

  • Low Probability of Intercept

  • Target classification through high-resolution Doppler analysis

 

Specialized Configurations

OMEGA360 comes in a number of specialized configurations, each tuned to specific scenarios and requirements:

 

2D OMEGA360 (narrow beam, 2D)

Optimized for surface Surveillance and focused on reliable detection of naval targets including periscopes, rubber boats, swimmers, sea skimmers etc. in strong clutter and multipath conditions, the 2D version of SEASTEMA radar is the ideal complement to a ship main surveillance radar or a high performing surface surveillance radar.

  • Surface Surveillance Radar (SSR) for combatant vessels

  • Surface surveillance of coastal sites

  • Specialized surveillance radar for asymmetric, low RCS threats

 

2,5D OMEGA360 (wide beam, 2D)

This version of OMEGA360 has been developed for Fast Target Low Altitude Surveillance. Its design is intended for use in conventional warfare scenarios when attacks from opposing ships, aircraft or helos are expected, or for detection of small targets at the surface or at low altitude. This version is especially suitable for fixed or vehicle-mounted area surveillance and for site security applications.

  • Industrial site surveillance (both onshore and offshore)

  • Coastal protection radar

  • Drone-detection radar for early warning of anti-drone systems

  • Vehicular surveillance radar (terrestrial or maritime) for advanced scouting

  • Airport security surveillance radar

 

OMEGA360 3D

A 3D version of the OMEGA360 is approaching the final stages of development and testing.  This innovative version of the OMEGA360 will allow general purpose surface and air 3D surveillance during various mission scenarios. The 3D version will also be able to switch between several operational modes through reconfiguration of the beam forming parameters, including the surface surveillance and Fast Targets Surveillance modes.

  • Omnidirectional air and surface surveillance

  • Vehicular air and terrain surveillance radar

  • Secondary surveillance radar for combatant vessels
