Kelvin Hughes Surveillance radar solutions for shore based applications have been specifically developed to meet the stringent operational requirements of port, harbour and river traffic operators as well as government agencies responsible for the protection of the coastal and littoral zones. The SBS (Shore Based Sensors) radar sensor family includes non-coherent and fully coherent solid state radar sensors available in multiple configurations to suit the specific application whether its a single radar site or part of a radar sensor network. An important part of a VTS and coastal surveillance system integration is the ability to easily adapt and integrate the radar sensor; our systems are specifically designed with this in mind utilising industrial standard protocols to make the work of the system integrator as easy and low cost as possible. Our SharpEyeTM technology provides superior target detection in harsh weather conditions and sub-clutter visibility of surface and low level air targets through the patented pulse sequences, coherent receiver, pulse compression and Doppler processing. The SBS sensors are range unambiguous and operate in X or S band.
SBS-900 SHARPEYETM The SBS-900 family is configured to provide a mast mounted environmentally sealed enclosure. The ultra-high reliability system is designed to provide a complete radar sensor or sensors package to system integrators that meet the requirements of a coastal surveillance system or a radar sensor forming part of a Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) system as defined in IALA V-128 recommendation.

SBS-900 COHERENT SENSOR SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION The SharpEye transceiver(s) of the SBS-900 systems are housed in a separate dedicated enclosure designed to be situated outdoors, close to the antenna turning unit and not requiring an air-conditioned enclosure to be built close to the top of the mast. The premise of this solution is the significant reduction of system integration and infrastructure costs. All SBS SharpEye radars are provided with a RDU as standard. The RDU incorporates a dual redundant power supply. The configuration and quality of the sub-systems ensure an availability of 99.9% meeting the standard and advanced availability requirements. Standardisation and the removal of a lifed magnetron also provide the operator with a simplified integrated logistics support (ILS) requirement. SharpEye transceivers are fully coherent providing greater capability and situational awareness through digital pulse compression, pulse Doppler processing and frequency diversity. The availability of multiple frequency channels provides excellent interoperability with other radars located in the vicinity of the installation. The dual redundant configuration provides switch over from one transceiver to the pre-powered second transceiver in approximately 1 second in the event of a failure. The system is remotely controlled receiving system commands from the operators track extractor over the Wide Area Network (WAN). Local control is possible via the RDU control panel or optional service display, enabling the maintainer to fully control and display the radar locally for commissioning and maintenance purposes.
