Terma’s Coastal Surveillance solution is based on our world-renowned

SCANTER radar. We detect targets at a range exceeding IALA
advanced requirements, and our radar can separate multiple (non-
cooperative) surface and air targets in close proximity, in all weather
conditions (sea stages). Our system can track and share target
positions which is important for SAR missions in low visibility, but also
to protect your natural resources from illegal fishing, track and control
foreign vessels, and fight criminals wanting to get access to your
territorial waters, or the main land from the sea. In case of illegal
activities, a recording of the radar track can be used for evidence in a
court of law.

support for example policing, inspection, or SAR, and ensures a clear

and confident high-resolution situational awareness picture

Power Sector Transmission

Large stationary targets like buildings and mountains cause strong
echoes. To mitigate interference from strong echoes, we offer a power
sector mode. This feature allows for controlling the transmitted power in
up to 16 individual user defined sectors.

Scalability
Our Coastal Surveillance solution provides 360o coverage (24/7) of up
to 98,000 km2 of coastal surveillance. SCANTER radars for Coastal
Surveillance can be placed on land and off-shore to provide as much
flexibility as possible, and additional SCANTER radars can be added as
demands change to increase coverage.
