HENSOLDT UK coastal surveillance radar
HENSOLDT UK has secured two contracts with SRT Marine System Solutions Ltd (SRT) to supply 50 shore-based radar systems for integration into national coastal surveillance networks. The systems, based on HENSOLDT UK's Coherent Shore-Based Sensor solution, are scheduled for full delivery within 2026.
Contract Scope and Deployment Context
The two contracts cover a combined total of 50 radar units, to be delivered by SRT as part of broader integrated maritime domain awareness (MDA) system deployments. SRT, a UK-based civil-defence maritime surveillance company, integrates multi-sensor systems for government and sovereign clients seeking independent coastal monitoring capability. The radar systems will be deployed within national coastal surveillance infrastructures, supporting the detection, tracking, and management of maritime activity.
Technical Basis: SharpEye Transceiver Technology
The delivered systems are built around HENSOLDT's SharpEye transceiver, a solid-state coherent radar technology developed for shore-based maritime surveillance. The upmast solid-state design eliminates the rotating mechanical components associated with conventional marine radars, reducing both installation complexity and ongoing maintenance requirements.
The Coherent Shore-Based Sensor solution is engineered to maintain reliable detection performance in variable coastal conditions, including sea clutter, atmospheric interference, and congested maritime traffic environments — operational factors common to the security and government agency contexts for which the system is designed.
Market Context and Strategic Fit
The contracts reflect growing demand among sovereign governments for independently operated maritime surveillance infrastructure. SRT's expanding MDA deployments span multiple regions, and the selection of HENSOLDT UK's radar technology indicates a preference for solid-state coherent solutions in programmes where operational reliability and reduced maintenance overhead are primary procurement criteria.
For HENSOLDT UK, the agreement reinforces its position in the shore-based radar market, where its technology addresses maritime safety, border security, and environmental monitoring requirements.
