Scientific and technical products and services

  • Multirange radar complex

The complex is capable of detecting, measuring parameters and classifying small air and surface targets; warnings about natural hazards in the atmosphere and at sea, as well as emergency situations caused by factors of artificial origin; target trajectory tracking (point and distributed) in the area of responsibility, and can be used to create systems for remote monitoring of the surrounding space on its basis

  • Passive coherent locator
  • Coherent radar with a complex signal for various purposes
  • Software system for integrated assessment, modeling, and prediction of the environmental object state based on GIS

System functions: study of the environmental object state, prediction of the ecological situation, visual representation of the ecological situation on the map
