RADAR AND SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS
Continuous Detection, Secure Operations, Maximum Resilience
Radar and surveillance systems are core components of airspace control, border security, critical infrastructure protection, and early-warning architectures. Their reliability depends not only on electronic hardware, but also on the robustness of the physical platform that houses and protects the system.
MILSHEL shelter solutions are engineered to ensure radar and surveillance systems operate continuously and securely under demanding field conditions.
Controlled Operating Environment for Critical Systems
Radar systems typically include the following components:
Components
- RF transmitter and receiver modules
- Signal processing units
- Rotating antenna control systems
- Power distribution and regulation panels
- Operator consoles and analysis software
Protection
These systems must be protected against factors such as temperature fluctuations, high humidity, dust, vibration, and electromagnetic interaction.
MILSHEL radar shelters provide:
- High-strength body structure
- EMI/RFI-shielded panel systems
- IP-rated sealing and ingress protection
- Shock and vibration isolators
- Controlled HVAC infrastructure
to maintain stable radar performance in the field.
Mobile and Fixed Configuration Options
Radar and surveillance systems are deployed according to different operational requirements, including:
- Fixed-site radar stations
- Mobile early-warning platforms
- Vehicle-mounted tactical radar systems
- Coastal surveillance solutions
MILSHEL shelters can be engineered in:
- ISO container format
- Trailer- or truck-mounted integration
- Modular and expandable architectures
to enable rapid deployment and seamless field integration.
Electromagnetic Compatibility and RF Safety
Radar systems generate high-power electromagnetic signals while also incorporating sensitive receiver circuits. Therefore, electromagnetic isolation is a critical design parameter for the shelter platform.
MILSHEL solutions provide:
- Metal body design compliant with Faraday-cage principles
- EMI-filtered cable feed-through panels
- EMC-compliant internal wiring architecture
- Grounding and lightning protection systems
to ensure both system integrity and personnel safety.
Thermal Management and Power Continuity
High-power radar systems generate intense heat loads. Thermal instability directly impacts system sensitivity and overall performance.
For this reason, MILSHEL radar shelters typically include:
- Precision-controlled HVAC systems
- Redundant (backup) cooling infrastructure
- Temperature and humidity sensors
- Smart power distribution systems
- UPS and generator integration
as standard to maintain operational continuity.
Application Areas
MILSHEL Radar and Surveillance Shelters can be deployed across a wide range of applications, including:
- Military air defense radar systems
- Border and coastal surveillance systems
- Perimeter security for critical facilities
- Mobile early-warning platforms
- Air traffic monitoring infrastructures
