OUR STRENGTHS IN AIRBORNE SURVEILLANCE RADARS

A SWAP optimized design

Airmaster C is designed to support multi-domain missions. Its low SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) package makes it an ideal partner for helicopter and SWaP constrained platforms. Weighing less than 20 kg, it combines high performance with a small footprint.
A true single unit design system

Its compact design integrates the antenna & data processing into a single unit. No additional hardware required onboard simplifies installation and reduces maintenance needs. One to three panels configuration is adapted to any type of platforms.
Surveillance beyond 120°

AirMaster C offers flexible capabilities for ISR focused missions, ranging from 120 ° – 360 ° surveillance coverage, simultaneous long and very close range target detection as well as the capacity to operate autonomously and to self-learn.

With a lightweight, all-in-one design, Thales’ latest airborne surveillance radar delivers low integration and operating costs, high availability and performance to set new standards. It is an ideal solution for small and medium-sized platforms, whether manned or unmanned. For maritime, land, or air missions, AirMaster C offers cutting-edge capabilities to help operators stay ahead in complex environments.

AirMaster C sets the standard for next generation radar capability. Combining AESA radar technology, a SWaP optimised design, multi-domain mission modes and AI-driven capabilities, AirMaster C is delivering the future of radar.

FEATURES ABOUT AIRMASTER C

AirMaster C is designed to truly minimise its footprint onboard platforms. With 30% lower SWaP requirements compared to other market offers, its single design, including antenna and data processing, does not require the installation of any additional accompanying units onboard.

One to three panels configuration adapted to any small and medium platforms, as fixed and rotary wings, manned and unmanned.

Utilizing maritime, ground and air surveillance modes, navigation and weather modes, as well as small target detection in high sea states, AirMaster C, like other radars in the AirMaster Series radars, delivers effective imaging and tracking in all conditions (fog, rain, night, or complex coastal areas) ensuring mission continuity.

To address the increasing complexity of modern missions, AirMaster C integrates advanced SMART RADAR AI functions that automatically adjust radar settings, analyze large data volumes, and classify targets in a few tenths of a second. It therefore reduces operator workload and improves performances to provide our customers with the information superiority they need.
