HENSOLDT UK Secures Two Contracts for 50 Coastal Surveillance Radars

HENSOLDT UK has secured two contracts with SRT Marine System Solutions Ltd (SRT), a UK-based civil-defence maritime surveillance systems company, to supply a total of 50 radar systems for deployment within integrated national coastal surveillance systems. The systems will be delivered by SRT, with all deliveries scheduled for 2026.

The radars will support enhanced monitoring and situational awareness across coastal environments, enabling authorities to detect, track and manage maritime activity effectively.

The systems are based on HENSOLDT UK’s advanced Coherent Shore-Based Sensor solution, developed specifically for coastal surveillance. Designed to meet the demanding operational requirements of maritime security and government agencies, the solution delivers reliable performance in complex and dynamic coastal conditions.

At the core of the system is HENSOLDT’s SharpEye transceiver technology, delivering high-performance surveillance capability. Its integrated upmast solid-state design ensures consistent performance, high reliability and reduced installation and maintenance requirements.

Adrian Pilbeam, Managing Director of HENSOLDT UK, 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, CEO of SRT, 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 contracts reinforce HENSOLDT UK’s position as a trusted provider of shore-based radar solutions, supporting maritime safety, security and environmental monitoring.
