winged or propelled drones. processing and decision-making.

The XENTA-C1 and XENTA-C3 radars The XENTA-C provides high performance 3D
meet the requirement for drone detection, tracking and classification with minimal
detection and surveillance for civilian false-track reports, by combining FMCW and CW
applications such as Critical Digital-Array beam-forms, coupled with advanced
Infrastructure Protection, Border Dynamic Clutter-mapping and MTI-D processing. A
Protection, Perimeter Control and particular strong feature of the XENTA radars is their
UTM. XENTA-C1 (Low Power) and capability to detect and distinguish at long distance
XENTA-C3 (High Power) features a even the smallest micro-Doppler signals generated by
30-degree elevation-opening angle and propelled micro-or mini-drones.
360-degree azimuth coverage.

The XENTA-C product line builds on Weibel’s proven XENTA-C1 / XENTA-C3
expertise with X-Band FMCW/CW sensor systems and
is developed for high-performance FMCW 3D
Digital-Array Surveillance. The XENTA-C Surveillance
Radar is specifically designed to meet the challenging
requirements necessary for successful detection,
tracking and classification of Low, Slow and Small
(LSS) targets such as UAVs.

The radar detects, classifies and tracks targets-
of-Interest within the full surveillance-volume. Track
Data (3D Position and Velocity) generated from targets
is reported to UTM and C2 systems at a high data-rate
and with minimal latency through standard ASTERIX
protocol.

As a key-approach to ensuring high-quality Logistics-Support,
Drones pose an ever increasing threat to critical infrastructure Weibel designs and builds all critical units in-house. In-house
design and manufacturing means that with the exception of
standard components, Weibel is independent of Sub-Suppliers
for the manufacturing of both Prime Equipment and Spares. In
this way, we are able to offer a fast and guaranteed through-life
support.
