Kongsberg integrates Echodyne MESA radar into PROTECTOR weapon systems
Kongsberg has integrated the MESA radar platform, developed by the US-based company Echodyne, into its PROTECTOR RS4 and RS6 remote weapon stations (RWS). This integration is designed to enhance counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) capabilities.
The MESA radar is a compact, solid-state, electronically scanned array radar designed for low size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements. It provides high-fidelity tracking data, including range, bearing, and kinematic information, which allows the PROTECTOR weapon systems to more effectively detect, track, and engage small, fast-moving, and low-signature drone threats.
