Why hasn millimetre wave radar been around before?
Millimetre wave radar sensing technology has existed for years. However, until recently, the radar components and computing power needed to process the radar data returns were only affordable in military applications. Now, the development of automotive radar for active cruise control and advances in computing have made it possible to engineer an affordable commercial radar system for industrial applications. The Navtech Radar W500 series surveillance radar is the first of its kind. Is it safe? Is it reliable? The Navtech Radar W500 surveillance radar is totally safe for human exposure. It emits 10 mWatts of power. That’s 100 times less than a conventional mobile phone! Whilst the technology is relatively new to the security industry, Navtech Radar sensors have been operating in Australia to navigate driverless port vehicles since 1999. Navtech’s surface movement radar has been operating as an ATC tool at East Midlands Airport, UK, since 2004, where it has achieved Civil Aviation Author
