MatrixSpace Announces First Shipments of Next-Gen Low-Cost Radar for Air and Ground Awareness

MatrixSpace Radar, the smallest, lightest, low cost, high-performance radar – is now shipping to commercial and public organizations in the United States and approved international countries. The award-winning product's commercial delivery follows its recent Federal Communications Commission authorization.

Designed and developed in the USA, MatrixSpace Radar offers robust situational awareness of both airborne and ground-based objects, regardless of lighting and weather conditions. This facilitates highly accurate drone detection and Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (CUAS) capabilities, Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flight for uncrewed, autonomous and tethered aircraft, and overall general aviation safety. 

MatrixSpace Radar is a very low SWaP-C (size, weight, power and cost), requires no additional infrastructure and is deployable in minutes without specialist training. Dan Nobbe, Vice President of RF and Radar Systems, MatrixSpace explained, "The demand for fast, effective ground and air surveillance is growing rapidly, and partners and customers tell us of their limitations with current solutions. MatrixSpace Radar is designed to provide radar for the rest of us - cost and performance which allows for use cases previously out of reach to commercial, public safety and defense situations.

Manu Lubrano, CEO and co-founder, INVOLI said, "MatrixSpace provides scalable, comprehensive, low altitude, noncooperative detection at any time of day or weather, at a price point that finally makes powerful radar readily accessible. This is key for accelerating advanced air mobility as well as a wide range of public safety and commercial programs such as drone first responder, drone detection and critical infrastructure inspections."

MatrixSpace's mission is to offer real-time AI and edge processing-based sensing with the ability to detect and track multiple types of objects in any environment. Combining industry-leading sensing, AI edge processing and RF communication in real-time is a major technology breakthrough that will reinvent business models across multiple vertical market applications, in particular the defense and public safety industry. MatrixSpace Radar is the foundational product of this open architecture sensing platform.

MatrixSpace Radar has the lowest cost, size, weight and power (SWAP) of any comparable radar on the market today. 

Key features:

  • Compact Design: With dimensions of 8.7cm x 14.1cm x 4.2cm, easily relocatable for versatile placement on autonomous vehicles or fixed structures for complete 360-degree coverage.
  • Versatile Detection: Detects movement of humans, airborne objects, and ground vehicles in challenging conditions like rain, fog, and smoke.
  • Rapid Deployment: Set up and configure within minutes without specialized training.
  • Energy Efficiency: Operates on low power, suitable for long-term use with solar or battery power, eliminating the need for standard electricity connections.
  • Open Integration: Built on an open architecture for seamless integration with UTM, Command and Control, counter UAS, and surveillance systems, providing a unified operational view.
  • Advanced Imaging: Employs 4D imaging radar technology to detect and visualize objects while capturing key telemetry data such as range, location, heading, and altitude.
  • International Compatibility: Capable of international export, ensuring adaptability across various operational contexts
