According to the company, its B400 series radars and BlighterNexus AI-assisted software will be deployed at fixed border locations and installed on army reconnaissance vehicles. The equipment is intended to provide both stationary and mobile surveillance capabilities.
Blighter stated that the B400 series radars operate with low power consumption of four watts and have a very low probability of intercept. The radars are designed to operate continuously throughout the year in all weather conditions, including dense fog.
The systems can detect, classify and track people, vehicles and low-flying airborne threats. Targets can be identified at distances of up to 32 kilometres.
BlighterNexus software will be used to integrate the radars with the army’s command-and-control networks. The system will also connect with operator interfaces and third-party sensors to provide a unified display and common operating picture across multiple border regions.
James Long, chief executive of Blighter, said the contract followed a strong year for the company. “Following a record order book in 2025, we are delighted to secure another border surveillance contract in Europe adding to our recent successes in the Middle East and Asia Pacific.”
He also said the company intends to pursue further international opportunities. “We will continue to target new business at home and abroad through our growing sales force and by forging strategic partnerships.”
Long added that international exhibitions remain an important part of the company’s outreach. “Attendance at international trade shows will continue to be a priority starting with this week’s Security and Policing Exhibition, where we are scheduled to meet with several overseas delegations, including other Central and Eastern European countries, as well as those from the Middle and Far East.”
Blighter will present its border and coastal surveillance radars and counter-drone solutions during the Security & Policing event in Farnborough. The exhibition will take place at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre from 10 to 12 March 2026.
The event is hosted by the Home Office’s Joint Security and Resilience Centre and focuses on global security and law enforcement cooperation. More than 400 exhibitors are expected to attend alongside delegations from over 40 countries and nearly 10,000 visitors.
Blighter radars are currently used by a range of defence and security organisations worldwide. These include the UK Ministry of Defence for protection of forward operating bases, the South Korean Army for surveillance along the Demilitarised Zone, and the United States Air Force for drone detection.
The company’s technology is also used by NATO and Five Eyes partners for mobile surveillance platforms and by major UK airports for perimeter protection. Blighter states that more than 800 radar units have been deployed in over 40 countries.
The company also works with international systems integrators to develop layered, multi-sensor surveillance systems. These systems support defence, homeland security, critical national infrastructure and energy sector projects around the world.
