AMSAR - A European success story in AESA radar

DGA, BWB and D&ES initiated a radar programme, called AMSAR (Airborne Multi-role Solid-state Active-array Radar) to demonstrate the enormous potential of Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar. This describes all stages of the AMSAR project and the results obtained. The AMSAR demonstrator is still the only European, forward-looking multi-channel active array radar with the capability of recording the outputs of more than 4 quadrants.
