New Contract with Foreign Customer - Meteksan Defense to Deliver Retinar PTR

Offering high resolution advanced technology for ground and perimeter surveillance radar systems optimized for human detection and recognition, Meteksan Defense was awarded a contract to supply the Retinar PTR Perimeter Surveillance Radar to a new foreign customer.

Agile Surveillance Providing Swiftness in the Field

Retinar PTR is the man-portable model of Meteksan Defense’s Retinar Perimeter Surveillance Radar Family. It is small in size and light weight. The high-technology radar system was developed for use in surveillance operations such as perimeter security of critical facilities, border security, and agile surveillance carried by patrolling mobile personnel.

The system stands out with an enhanced user interface, compact structure, lightness and low power consumption. With its total weight of twenty-five kilograms, it can be carried operationally by by two personnel in its special backpacks and can be used in a mobile capacity on a tripod with its batteries. The user can operate it with two battery cartridges for almost 8 hours. This in turn provides swiftness in the tactical field.  

It also generates the doppler signature of the target and provides classification information whether it’s a vehicle, human or animal with micro-doppler spectrogram analysis. With this specification Retinar PTR can detect and follow mobile objects that are the size of a human or an animal from a distance of 4 km, as well as vehicles from a distance of 10 km with minimum error. 

Retinar PTR is operation ready after the completion of extensive field tests. It has also been customer tested in different areas and weather conditions during the tender process, and the radar performed fully successful during all tests.
