MATIA
A state-of-the-art Terahertz Radar
Nowadays, most UAVs are made of plastic and composite materials making their detection more complex or impossible with conventional radars. MATIA addresses this issue by using Terahertz frequencies and Doppler and micro-Doppler analysis to detect all types of UAVs, including small, autonomous (no RF emissions) and hovering ones.
DETECTION + IDENTIFICATION in one system – micro-Doppler
All UAVs have micro-Doppler signatures due to the rotation of the blades. These signatures are specific to each reference and can be used to differentiate them.
At the same time, they can be used to differentiate a drone from a bird, which also has its own micro-Doppler signature due to the flapping of its wings.
MATIA’s operation in the Terahertz frequency range allows the recovery of highly reliable and distinctive micro-Doppler signatures between different ranges of UAVs and also between UAVs and birds in a shorter time than other existing radar technologies.
