MatrixSpace, a leader in portable AI-enabled radar for counter-UAS (C-UAS), announces the availability of its revolutionary Portable 360 Radar. This rugged, easily transportable radar kit delivers reliable close-airspace awareness with panoramic coverage for rapid-response counter-drone operations, from safeguarding stadiums and large public gatherings to border security and battlespaces.
Traditional radar systems present significant operational challenges for mobile C-UAS deployments. Existing solutions are cumbersome, slow to set up, ineffective, and resource-intensive. MatrixSpace Portable 360 Radar addresses these constraints as the industry’s lowest power, most portable, and most affordable low-airspace drone detection system available.
“We’ve already seen the tactical advantage MatrixSpace Portable 360 Radar offers, in some of the most challenging situations possible,” explains Matthew Kling, VP & GM, AI Systems at MatrixSpace. “The demand for fast, easy setup of such capable systems is clear, as a wide range of organizations grapple with the reality of critical counter drone solutions.”
Technical Specifications of Portable 360 Radar
The MatrixSpace Portable 360 Radar system features a low power consumption profile with a small footprint, enabling transportation by standard vehicle with assembly completed in minutes. The platform delivers panoramic airspace coverage with breakthrough affordability, enabling operators to detect hard-to-detect drones in challenging environments including dense cities and variable terrain.
The system employs a resilient AI edge-first architecture powered by sophisticated artificial intelligence edge processing. This architecture continuously improves detection capabilities, assuring decisive operations even in congested electromagnetic environments. The design prioritizes operational resilience and adaptive threat detection across varied deployment scenarios.
Enterprise Integration and Deployment Flexibility
Unlike competing solutions, the MatrixSpace platform unifies threat awareness across multiple networked Portable 360 Radar systems and other sensors without compromising local operation. The integration of AI edge processing with MatrixSpace AiCloud Enterprise Software enables central and remote command centers to access an enhanced common operating picture and deep airspace activity analytics to assure public safety.
The system demonstrates easy extensibility to MatrixSpace AiCloud, allowing operators to deploy single systems or scale to enterprise deployments of one hundred units, with all systems working together for unified command and control. This modular architecture supports both independent operations and networked situational awareness across organizational structures.
Operational Validation and Market Adoption
Major corporations and government agencies have already adopted MatrixSpace Portable 360 Radar following rigorous field testing. The system excelled in the U.S. Army’s recent xTechCounter Strike competition, where it won best active sensor. This validation from military procurement processes demonstrates the system’s effectiveness in demanding operational environments and positions it for broader adoption across defense and critical infrastructure protection applications.
