Northrop Grumman and CEA Scalable CEAFAR Next-Generation Phased Array Sensor System DSEI 2011.

Northrop Grumman and strategic partner CEA Technologies of Australia offer the CEAFAR MWVR. Suitable for a wide variety of vessels, MWVR brings large radar functionality to the entire fleet. Northrop Grumman and CEA will leverage our team strengths to provide high quality products and support to customers worldwide.

CEAFAR is an active, S-band, multi-function, phased array radar that is fully scalable in frequency, size and power based on the number and type of tiles in each face. This fully digital radar system incorporates advanced digital beam-forming and is user-configurable depending on operational and technical requirements. CEAFAR is a unique radar solution that allows each of the sensor elements to be individually tuned and adjusted. The system is extremely lightweight, and requires relatively modest cooling and power.

CEAFAR is a fully digital beam-forming sensor that can be dynamically configured to meet a range of operating environments and threat scenarios. It can be fitted to both new build vessels and vessels already in service, to extend their operational lifespan and increase the range of missions capable of being performed by these platforms.
