Selex ES, a Finmeccanica company, has successfully completed operational trials of all versions of its Kronos multi-function radar. These top-of-class sensors make the difference for those who operate in surveillance and air defence, both on land and at sea. Announced at Bahrain International Airshow 2014, this achievement will enable Selex ES to further increase its already significant market share in radars and systems for air and naval defence.

The Kronos radar exploits Selex ES’s advanced active electronic scanning array (AESA) technology. It is able to perform surveillance, tracking, threat evaluation and fire control against multiple threats, simultaneously and automatically, at all altitudes. The radars provide particularly outstanding performance in detection range, hooking speed and tracking continuity, including at low and very low levels.

Kronos is now available in five versions, fixed and mobile, enabling it to fulfill all military requirements for surveillance and air defence, on land or at sea, using a single radar type. This allows the paring of top-class performance with lean maintenance, training and logistics synergies and heavily reduced electromagnetic chaos and frequency spectrum occupation at a national level.
