MatrixSpace has been selected for a USD1.9M US Air Force AFWERX Tactical Funding Increase Phase II Sequential contract to develop a distributed dual-mode mesh radar for base defence, based on the MatrixSpace Radar hardware platform.
The project will run for 22 months and involves scaling MatrixSpace Radar for use in tactical, expeditionary, installed base force protection scenarios by creating a scaleable low-cost distributed radar sensor mesh for low-airspace surveillance. The sensor mesh must detect, track, and identify low flying objects such as uncrewed aerial systems, loitering munitions, and one-way attack vehicles that are RF silent. The system aims to provide the US Air Force with a model for a network of rapidly deployable security sensors that is scaleable and does not require additional infrastructure for power and communications.
