ReGuard — 3D short-range radar
Multi-role 3D radar for the detection and tracking of ground and low-flying targets
0.58 ÷ 18 km
ReGuard radar is a multi-role 3D radar which simultaneously detects and tracks ground targets and slow, low-flying targets with a small radar cross section (LSS). ReGuard monitors the area by utilizing electronic beam steering and mechanical rotation of the radar head.

Configuration
Portable configuration
The radar head is mounted on a tripod making it convenient for temporary deployment. This configuration, which allows for an easy location change, is appropriate for the temporary securing of important geographical points or border control.
Hot configuration
Hot climate version with adequate thermal protection. Special sand color for better reflection of sun radion. Increased radiator fins on back cover of radar head and on radar stand. Redesigned sunshield for optimal airflow around head unit.
Mobile configuration
A highly mobile configuration since the radar head can be fitted on a vehicle or any other customer-designed platform. Facilitates the rapid patrolling of designated areas like large gatherings, concerts, VIP zones.
Radar utilization
Border control
While protecting borders, ReGuard ensures that no person, vehicle or drone crosses the border without the radar operator’s knowledge. It provides early warning and gives valuable reaction time for an effective response, while protecting a wide strip of territory. When ReGuard is suitably located, its range covers up to 22 km of border in the horizontal plane and it also provides the detection of possible threats up to 8 km behind it.
In an anti-drone system
ReGuard can also serve as part of a comprehensive anti-drone systém in which it acts as a radar sensor for LSS detection with a range up to 18 km. Due to its outstanding parameters it provides the system with drone „early warning“ information. The anti-drone system then uses high-precision target positioning data generated by ReGuard to guide the anti-drone action. No anti-drone solution can provide complete protection without a type of radar sensor such as ReGuard.
Aa a part of Air Defence Solution
ReGuard provides high-precision radar data thanks to its cutting-edge innovative radar technology. This data can then help create a very effective air-defence system via integration with a powerful weapon system coupled with a system for the efficient data transmission between all the parts of the whole air defence system.
Securing critical infrastructure
Intrusions by UAV’s into critical infrastructure areas such as nuclear power plants and other industrial or technological sites are ever increasing. They are already showing us the fact that protection against this type of threat is currently very inadequate. Effective detection provides a window of opportunity to respond in a timely manner thus preventing material and human losses. As an example, ReGuard can detect a commercial drone at a distance of 6 km, which at top speed is their maximum flight range. This gives the user a valuable reaction time of 15 minutes before the drone reaches its destination.
Airport drone detection
Airports are very vulnerable to threats posed by small UAVs. Even their unintentional presence in the area of the airport, where drones are prohibited, interferes with the airport’s operation and can lead to considerable economic losses. Unfortunately, economic losses are not the only threats posed by UAV‘s. Other serious threats such as deliberate attack on an aircraft or infrastracture are also very real. However, when ReGuard is permanently deployed at the airport it allows the airport security to prevent both minor and major damage by UAV’s. Additionally, ReGuard records the complete flight paths of all drones in its range, thus greatly assisting the investigation of any drone incident and finding its operator. Last, but not least, ReGuard‘s exceptional range enables it to cover almost the whole CTR of an airport with just one sensor.
