Terma Scanter 2202 New -

So, what makes the "New" version stand out from its predecessors? Here are the highlights:

1. Solid-State Technology The 2202 New utilizes advanced solid-state transceivers. Unlike older magnetron-based radars, solid-state technology offers higher reliability, lower maintenance costs, and a longer operational lifespan. It also allows for much better performance at short ranges.

2. Superior Small Target Detection This is the headline feature. The Scanter 2202 New is engineered to detect targets as small as 1 square meter (RCS) at impressive distances. This makes it an invaluable asset for:

3. Doppler Processing and Clutter Suppression One of the biggest challenges in radar is "sea clutter"—the noise created by waves on the surface. The Scanter 2202 New employs advanced Doppler processing. By measuring the velocity of targets, it can effectively filter out static or slow-moving clutter from the sea surface, ensuring that the operator sees the threat, not the noise.

4. Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) For military and security applications, staying hidden is key. The Scanter 2202 New features frequency agility and pulse compression, making it difficult for enemy forces to detect that they are being tracked. This "silent watch" capability is a game-changer for tactical operations.

For commercial vessels, standard navigation radars (costing $10k–$30k) may suffice. However, for government agencies, critical infrastructure, and professional maritime security teams, the Terma SCANTER 2202 new is a strategic asset.

Pricing Note: A new SCANTER 2202 system (antenna, processor, and software license) typically ranges between $45,000 and $85,000 USD depending on accessories (pedestals, radome covers, integration cables). While more expensive than consumer radar, it is substantially cheaper than military-grade AESA systems ($250k+), offering 90% of the capability for 30% of the price.

Wind farms are vulnerable to sabotage and piracy. The new SCANTER 2202 can be mounted on a turbine to detect approaching vessels and the drones those vessels launch. It differentiates between a maintenance crew boat (slow, transponder active) and a suspicious RIB (fast, transponder silent).
