Fifth paragraph, fourth sentence of release dated February 22,
2024 should read: The RaaS acquisition model and
cost-effective radars allow for broader use of advanced radars by
the commercial and government sector (instead of The RaaS
acquisition mode land cost-effective radars allow for broader use
of advanced radars by the commercial and government sector).
The updated release reads:
GENERAL RADAR CORPORATION LAUNCHES
RADAR-AS-A-SERVICE TO MONITOR AIRBORNE THREATS
General Radar Corporation, a US-based developer and manufacturer
of high-resolution and long-range multi-mission Active
Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) phased array radars, today
announced the launch of a transformative and cost-effective
solution to the traditional radar market. This launch reflects
General Radar’s commitment to delivering a critical capability to
detect and track an increasing number of airborne targets,
including aircraft, drones, cruise missiles, balloons and emerging
threats for its commercial and government customers.
Radar-as-a-Service (RaaS) redefines how traditional ground-based
radar has been developed and built, often taking a decade to
source, procure and deploy to the field. The demand for high
accuracy long-range radars has increased dramatically due to the
evolution and proliferation of a new class of civilian and military
threats, from bomb-carrying drones to hypersonic missiles. To keep
up with this demand, General Radar’s RaaS can be sourced, procured
and deployed in an accelerated way due to their commercial-first
approach.
“The rapid evolution of threats facing the US and its allies, as
well as the aerospace and defense sector, requires state-of-art
sensing technology that can be developed and fielded in an
accelerated, cost-effective and flexible manner,” said CEO and
founder Dmitry Turbiner. “We are excited to provide a
contractor-owned, operated and financed solution along with a rapid
method of delivery to protect from the threats of today and
tomorrow.”
The aerospace and defense sector is one of the fastest-growing
areas for businesses, as evidenced by the growth of air mobility,
including drones and electric vertical take-off and landing
aircraft. By embracing the changing aerospace and defense
landscape, General Radar is leading the charge in advancing a
high-resolution long-range phased-array radar system able to detect
and track hundreds of airborne objects leveraging advanced
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
General Radar utilizes private funding with expert knowledge in
aerospace and defense to design, test, manufacture and deploy its
radars more rapidly. General Radar’s method of delivery is rapid
and cost-effective. General Radar’s supply chain is US based and
core intellectual property used is not co-owned or jointly
developed with any other company or public funding. The RaaS
acquisition model and cost-effective radars allow for broader use
of advanced radars by the commercial and government sector.
About General Radar Corp.
Founded in 2016 in Silicon Valley, California, General Radar
Corp. has developed and is deploying a new type of commercial
aerospace AESA radar that is scalable, high-power, long-range,
multi-mission and features supercomputing. General Radar systems
can meet or exceed the performance of existing DoD systems, at a
fraction of the price. This combination of advanced capabilities
without the large up front capital expenses, red tape and slow time
to deployment of traditional developmental radar systems is
revolutionizing how agencies and companies can access radar data
and coverage. By democratizing powerful long-range radars, we’re
opening up exciting new applications in defense, energy, weather,
agriculture, and other sectors.
