Guardian

Fully customizable radar solutions for security and defence. MetaSensing provides radar sensors for airborne and ground based surveillance, monitoring, security and defence.

The GUARDIAN is a Multi-Mode X-band advanced multichannel Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for surveillance of sea, land, borders and critical wide areas.

The GUARDIAN features real-time surveillance functions, high resolution SAR imaging (Scanning, Stripmap, Spotlight), Ground Moving Target (GMTI) and Maritime Moving Target Indicator (MMTI).

The multichannel technology allows top-class performances with compact and light geometry and wide azimuth and elevation angles, covering air-to-surface and air-to-air environments.

Your ultimate solution for advanced SAR Imaging

Advanced capabilities for surveillance and detection

The Guardian is a lightweight, featuring hybrid scanning and advanced MTI for real-time, precise tracking of moving targets on land and water.

High-resolution imaging and flexible configuration

The Guardian delivers high-resolution SAR images for precise target classification in any weather and at all times, using three compact that allow flexible, lightweight installation on platforms or in pods, adapting to various operational needs.

Versatility for modern airborne platforms

The Guardian provides all-weather, high-resolution surveillance for different airborne platforms, featuring a compact design for easy integration, with scalable versions to meet specific needs.
