HENSOLDT UK has signed two contracts with SRT Marine System Solutions Ltd to supply 50 coastal surveillance radar systems for integration into national monitoring networks.
The agreement, announced on 9 April 2026, covers radar systems that will be deployed as part of integrated coastal surveillance systems. Deliveries are scheduled to be completed in 2026, with SRT responsible for integrating and delivering the systems.
The radars are intended to support maritime authorities in monitoring coastal areas, improving their ability to detect, track and manage maritime activity. The systems are based on HENSOLDT UK’s shore-based sensor solution designed for coastal surveillance.
The system uses the SharpEye radar transceiver, which is designed to operate in complex coastal conditions. The radar features a solid-state upmast design intended to reduce installation and maintenance requirements while maintaining consistent performance.
Adrian Pilbeam said, “These contracts with SRT reflect the strength of our coastal surveillance offering and the confidence placed in our technology. We are focused on delivering dependable radar systems that provide operators with the clarity and reliability they need to manage maritime activity safely and effectively.”
Simon Tucker said, “SRT integrated MDA system deployments are rapidly expanding and accelerating worldwide as sovereigns seek to establish and build up independent next-generation maritime surveillance capabilities. We are constantly seeking the best ISR systems from reliable providers for our systems, and this order demonstrates our confidence in HENSOLDT and its radars, which will both deliver excellent performance. We look forward to further developing this relationship in the years ahead.”
The systems will support coastal monitoring programmes.
