Leonardo Unveils New RWR Technology

: Dec 20, 2019 - : 5:43 am

As part of its on-going development work for Tempest, Leonardo UK has demonstrated a new radar receiver/warner technology.

The new sensor demonstrated a direction finding performance of four times what is possible with a typical radar warning receiver during a laboratory demonstration for the UK Ministry of Defence and other Team Tempest partners.

The new sensor is also only 1/10th the size of a radar receiver/warner.

The Tempest next generation combat air project will see the UK, Italy and Sweden working closely together, to deliver a new aircraft in-service with the RAF in 2035

Leonardo’s UK role in the team is to develop Tempest’s sensor package and integrate these sensors into the platform’s mission system.

Leonardo’s new receiver technology, not only reduces the size and weight of the system by also requires reduced power requirements.

This means that it will be possible to integrate the sensor into a multi-function array; one of a number of innovative ideas being considered for Tempest, could see a number of multi-purpose sensors spread around the aircraft, simultaneously sensing and tracking enemy aircraft, incoming missiles and other threats from all directions, while being fully integrated with a forward-facing radar
