SharpEye™ For Christmas Island Coastal Surveillance
CHRISMAS-(IDB) : Kelvin Hughes
is delighted to announce the permanent installation of an S-Band
SharpEye™ radar and antenna on Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean.
An Australian territory, located 2,600 kilometres northwest of Perth, Christmas Island has been regularly used by immigrants and asylum seekers as a pathway to obtaining refugee status. This has placed significant pressure on the Australian government with its duty of care requirements, creating a need for a permanent radar installation on the island.

Drawcom Pty Ltd
based in Victoria, Australia selected Kelvin Hughes to supply a
SharpEye™ solution for the Defence Science and Technology Organisation
(DSTO), part of Australia’s Department of Defence, because of the
industry-leading operational capabilities of the company’s SharpEye™
radar.
The vessels typically used to transport asylum seekers are small,
slow-moving, wooden boats with an inherently low Radar Cross Section
(RCS). Unlike traditional magnetron radar systems, the SharpEye™, with
its solid state technology and Doppler processing, is able to detect
these craft reliably even in the difficult sea states that can occur off
the coast of Christmas Island.
Following the
success of a trial that began in August 2011 involving a semi-permanent
structure, the SharpEye™ radar has now been installed on a permanent
tower. Providing coastal surveillance of the northern maritime
approaches to the island, with the raw radar feed being transmitted
directly to a control centre in Adelaide, the installation is now
playing a critical role in managing border control as well as safety at
sea.
It can be a
challenge for the authorities to control the area, given high sea
states, a large geographical spread and the continued threat of asylum
seekers. SharpEye™ solid-state radar allows authorities to better meet
these challenges.
Russell Gould, CEO Kelvin Hughes, commented: “The decision by the DSTO to select SharpEye™ is a further validation of the system’s technological superiority. Providing effective maritime surveillance off the coast of Christmas Island calls for the ability to separate targets from clutter even in adverse weather conditions.”

Nah lo, aushit udah mulai menabuh genderang perang, cuman butuh 18 menit dari christmas island menyerbu jakarta dengan F18 super hornet, kalo ga ada payung rudal S 300 dan Pantsir namanya bunuh diri, kalo ga ada destroyer sekelas Bremen di Selat Sunda dan Kilo di Pangandaran pasti mereka akan kurang ajar mencoba-coba kemampuan pertahanan kita

BalasHapusyang terpenting adalah, mari kita analisa, apa prespektif Aushit dalam membaca transisi RI di 2014, karena ada kepentingan mereka yg sangat besar terkait zonasi Ekonomi China semakin mesra dengan RI, dan Aushit sudah 'pasang mata selain radar" di NKRI terkait informasi RI yg diperlukan.
BalasHapusjadi ndak usah takut radar di pulau christmas, karena kita tidak bisa di TAP lewat cable Fiber Optic yg ter connected Asia-Aust, yg perlu kita takuti "radar hidup" mereka yg di NKRI itu yang perlu di sikat, siapa saja dan dimana saja?... hehehehe... pasti rekan sudah taukan.. :)
semestinya indonesia segera menerima s-300/400 dari rusia jangan lagi cari pembanding ke cina kecuali kita transfer etknologinya.....
Hapus
