Weibel Scientific secures U.S. Army contract to develop new radar prototype

Weibel, known for its expertise in radar technology, will draw on over 40 years of experience in instrumentation hardware architecture and radar processing. The new radar, featuring Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology, will complement Weibel’s existing X-Band radar products.

“At Weibel, we see this as a natural next step in our continued commitment to our US customers. We have a large presence in X-Band instrumentation radars in the US, and by adding C-Band capabilities it allows for our growing customer base to have increased capability to meet their emerging operational test range radar requirements”, said Scott McGleish, President, and General Manager of Weibel North America.

The C-Band radar will support legacy transponder tracking and deliver improved data quality, providing a wider field of view for military test ranges facing frequency constraints.
