As part of what will be its participation in the Eurosatory 2024 defense and security exhibition, Saab will present the Compact Radar Module for the Giraffe 1X radar.
As expressed by Saab, “…the Compact Radar Module is designed to offer an “all-in-one” solution. At the push of a button, the antenna folds into a compact, lightweight radar module, offering versatile and highly mobile capability for rapid operational requirements…”.
The well-known Giraffe 1X light radar, proven in combat and constantly updated in terms of software, can now be supplied together with the compact radar module as a single operational element. Its small size and long search range (75 km) make it excellent for urgent operations with limited operational infrastructure.
Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab’s Surveillance business area, explained that “…The Giraffe 1X Compact Radar Module is an all-in-one solution, manufactured with mobility and operational urgency as key user needs. The Compact Radar Module is the latest example of how we are leveraging the capabilities of the Giraffe 1X radar, giving customers a number of different ways to deploy Giraffe 1X wherever and however to maximize its operational effectiveness…”
Giraffe 1X provides quality data on air defense targets, drone detection to counter unmanned aerial systems, and simultaneous detection and warning capability for rocket, artillery, and mortar launches. Giraffe 1X also offers continuous software updates to address emerging threats.
