  • Design integration architectures between radars, C2 systems, and GCS
  • Ensure real-time data processing and low-latency target tracking
  • Create standardized integration frameworks for multiple radar vendors
  • Implement data fusion between radar and other sensors (RF, EO/IR, acoustic)

Performance Optimization

  • Conduct radar performance testing and validation in various environments
  • Optimize detection ranges, false alarm rates, and tracking accuracy
  • Develop ECCM (Electronic Counter-Counter Measures) capabilities
  • Analyze operational data to improve detection algorithms
  • Adapt systems for challenging environments (urban, maritime, mountainous)

Field Testing & Deployment

  • Support radar deployment and integration in operational theaters
  • Conduct field testing and performance validation
  • Troubleshoot integration issues in operational conditions

Cross-Functional Collaboration
