General Radar Corp designs and manufactures state-of-art mm-Wave Imaging Radars. Although we have developed our Radar for commercial customers, we would like to adapt our Radar for Military use. We would like to explore the Militarization effort in close collaboration with a potential end user such as USAF.

General Radar provides a new class of digital RADAR sensor, fusing a Component-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) backend processing architecture with a novel beam-steering antenna to create a low-cost, high-performance RADAR package with tunable specifications. This system is capable of scanning large areas for first detection, following subsequent Tracks-of-Interest (TOI), and performing Target Identification, all within a tabletop package requiring minimal power, oversight, or security. Objectives for this Phase II proposal are: Verify and validate General Radar Mk-IV capabilities at a field day exercise. Evaluate potential utility of General Radar technology to Northern Warning System problem set. Overhaul an experimental radar with General Radar's new architecture. Verify and validate General Radar "Second Sight" technology for target identification.
