NS100 is the latest S-band AESA radar family and the new multi-sensor integrated platform integrates dual-axis multi-beam technology, which improves situational awareness in littoral environments.

Together with the S-band radar, the system can be integrated with the Scout Mk3 FMCW radar, the IFF mode 5 / S interrogator and transponder, an IR camera, AIS and ADS-B.

According to Thales, the overall field of view can be optimised by positioning all sensors at the best topside arrangement.

The sensor can be customised to meet user requirements and operational profiles, while the radar performance can be increased with the addition of RX and TX building blocks.
