Coastal Surveillance Systems

Kelvin Hughes is a leading supplier of non-coherent and fully-coherent SharpEye™ radar systems. The SBS radar sensor range is specifically designed to meet the requirements of a coastal surveillance system or a Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) system as defined in IALA recommendation V-128.

We work with system integrators to enable the correct solution to be specified according to the end user's requirements. IALA recommends performance capabilities for a typical radar sensor application. The V-128 IALA recommendation defines the performance capability as basic, standard and advanced. We have specifically designed our range to meet the system integrator's requirements to align a coastal surveillance or VTS solution according to these principles.

• SBS-700 transceiver design incorporates a low noise front end (LNFE) and a FET Modulator that has resulted in enhanced and improved range discrimination.
• SBS-800 SharpEye™ transceiver brings the benefits of solid state coherent radar to the VTS user for the first time.
• SBS-900 SharpEye™ dual redundant system designed to be housed in a separate mast mounted enclosure with antenna supplier options.
