Japan’s Coast Guard recently completed successful
flight testing of Raytheon
Intelligence & Space, a Raytheon Technologies business, maritime surveillance technologies
onboard a General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. SeaGuardian Remotely Piloted Aircraft .
RI&S provided its SeaVue Expanded
Mission Capability (XMC) radar and AN/DAS-4 Multi-spectral Targeting System for
the tests, which were conducted in the Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, Japan,
between Oct. 15 and Nov. 10, 2020.
The tests validated the wide-area
maritime surveillance systems support for the Japan Coast Guard to carry out
missions for search and rescue, disaster response and maritime law enforcement.
“Our advanced intelligence, surveillance
and reconnaissance solutions can aid the Japan Coast Guard to perform their
duties effectively in alignment with Japan’s maritime security priorities,”
said Barbara Borgonovi, vice president of Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance Systems for RI&S. “Through our partnership with GA-ASI,
SeaVue XMC and DAS-4 contribute to SeaGuardian’s critical role to help
operators make decisions faster. Our wide-area surveillance technologies have
proven track records that can be tailored to any mission in the maritime
environment.”
The SeaVue XMC radar provides enhanced
wide-area surveillance by identifying targets of interest rapidly and
efficiently, such as small maritime vessels. SeaVue MR delivers expanded
capabilities including small-target detection at longer ranges and higher altitudes,
and a software-defined digital architecture to add new functionality without
changing hardware.
The DAS-4 sensor suite offers operators
next-generation electro-optical surveillance in high-definition and full-motion
video to identify and engage targets with pinpoint accuracy. The flight tests
support the Japan Coast Guard’s policy on Strengthening Maritime Security
System. The policy calls for modernized maritime technologies to protect
Japan’s sovereignty.
