Future Vertical Lift Aircraft / PhantomStrike®
PhantomStrike®
Compact AESA Radar
PhantomStrike is designed to provide full AESA radar capabilities on platforms with space, weight, and power constraints.
Superior battlespace situational awareness is now attainable for smaller aircraft because of PhantomStrike’s reduction in weight (up to 80%), in cost (50%), and power (65%) compared to legacy AESA radar systems.
RI&S’s lightest form factor AESA radar incorporates Gallium Nitrate-power, an innovative packaging of its digital receiver/exciter and processor called CHIRP, and a first-of-its-kind all air-cooled design.
