Royal Thai Navy to Induct Terma Scanter 5202 and 2202 Radars

Our Bureau - : Aug 31, 2022 - : 2:36 am

The Royal Navy (RTN) will soon strengthen its coastal surveillance capabilities with new radar systems currently being delivered by Terma.

The current deliveries consist of several radars systems for sites along the coastline, which will include Terma’s Scanter 5202 and 2202 and will be combined with a variety of antennas (21 feet, 18 feet and 12 feet compact antennas). All radars will feature Terma’s ET2 embedded tracker.

The RTN is responsible for coast guard operations in Thailand and its efforts at detecting and tracking of illegal activities in their territorial waters will be greatly enhanced with the induction of the new radar systems. With the new radar systems, the Royal Thai Navy will acquire an intelligent tracking unit installed on all radars. The so-called ET2 embedded tracker automatically logs the behaviour of any suspicious vessel, no matter the size or shape.

“It has become a Terma signature to design and produce systems with an open architecture, So customers can freely choose to add the capabilities they need into the system that best suits their needs and what they prefer. We are system agnostics, so to say,” said Anupam Narain Mathur, Vice President and General Manager of Terma Asia Pacific.

Embedded tracking allows for greater situational awareness which comes from having a clear picture of what is going on currently, what has happened previously and predicting what will happen in the (near) future. While the defense and surveillance industry typically have a propriety interface where the tracking capability is part of the Command-and-Control (C2) system, that is not the case with Terma radars. The Terma ET2 Tracking unit is embedded directly into the radars with simple hardware and software add-ons. The reason behind embedding the ET2 into the radar comes down to making the system compatible with third-party C2 System Providers. The tracking data is translated to exportable international protocols and can be interfaced by any major C2-system on the market.
