Spotter's 3D radar provides radar coverage in three dimensions, unlike the more common 2D radar. 2D radar provides range and azimuth values while 3D radar provides elevation information in addition to range and azimuth. Use applications include drone detection, bird monitoring, defense and surveillance. The latest in the line of 3D radars (counter-drone radars) from Spotter is the revolutionary AX250.

The AX-250 is the first 3D radar that creates a full-dome drone detection area from 0 to 90 degrees vertically and 360 degrees horizontal with a single radar that weighs 12 pounds. The AX-250 radar measures latitude, longitude and altitude of all aerial targets in a 500 meter wide hemispherical dome with the ability to detect and track flying objects from any direction, even directly above the radar.

Rapid threat assessment is simple with the automatic detection and 3D tracking of sUAS (small unmanned aircraft system) combined with fully automated camera cueing on the target. Manpower and cost are both reduced with this system while mitigating the threat of undesired aerial presence. Unaffected by lighting or noise pollution, the AX-250 is the best drone detection sensor in the market.

Spotter Global is recognized in the Perimeter Security Industry as the fastest growing and most innovative surveillance radar solution company in the world. It has received a Commodity Jurisdiction (CJ) determination from the US State Department for its AX-250 radar. The CJ determination classifies the AX-250 radar as a commercial product, exportable under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) rather than the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) that apply to military items. The CJ empowers the company to offer its best-in-class 360° full-dome radar to a broader global market.
