Edith Defence Systems Secures Award for Compact, Multi-Function UAV Radar

An Indian startup, Edith Defence Systems, has been awarded second place in the prestigious Dare to Dream 4.0 competition. Organized by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), this award recognizes Edith Defence's groundbreaking work in developing cutting-edge radar systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The company's award-winning system is an ultra-compact radar designed specifically for the Defender X2 UAV. This technology goes beyond traditional radar, offering advanced target-seeking and proximity sensing. These features significantly enhance the drone's capabilities in surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

Crucially, the miniaturized design makes this radar system lightweight and adaptable to various deployment environments. Despite its small size, the technology delivers impressive target detection and tracking abilities.

Edith Defence's system also incorporates Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), allowing the radar to be reprogrammed for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) applications. This provides high-resolution imagery, helping to identify targets in detail and map different terrains with precision.
