Artisan Radar Can Spot A Supersonic Tennis Ball 25km Away (video)

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/21/2013 09:20 AM | source: | 8 comment(s)

Technological advancements can certainly alter the course of a battle and that's why this new radar, which has been developed for the Royal Navy, is a very big advantage. BAE Systems' Artisan radar is so advanced that it can pin point a tennis ball traveling at Mach 3 more than 25km away. The new tech is capable of simultaneously detecting 900 objects smaller than a bird at a range between 200 meters and 200 kilometers, and it can perform the task even if there is interference equivalent to 10,000 mobile phone signals. And it's also light weight (700 kilograms), made of the same carbon glass fibre as a Formula 1 car, so it can be easily installed. Currently being fitted to Type 23 frigates, the Artisan will also find its way onto amphibious ships and the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers.

I'm no mathematician, and it's great that it can spot a tennis ball traveling mach 3 at 25 km, but even if it spotted said tennis ball at 25 km I'm pretty sure at mach 3 it's too late for it to do anything about it. It would be to the ship in about 1.17 seconds.

That's why Britain and the other members of the Eurofighter team never went with stealth tech.

It's pretty useless. I read somewhere that they hope to get this tech to 100+ Km.

It's best usage atm is in line with goalkeeper systems to shoot down Exocet type anti-ship missiles. What ever happens in the future we never again want another HMS Sheffield.

You're off by a factor of ~20.

You have almost half a minute before it arrives.
