Searchwater radar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Searchwater radar is a maritime surveillance radar. This type of radar has been in service with the Royal Air Force Hawker Siddeley Nimrod since the 1970s.[1]

Searchwater radar was developed by the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment and EMI (later Thorn Sensors Group). Racal Radar Defence Systems acquired Searchwater in 1995. Thorn and Racal merged to form Racal-Thorn Defence.[1]
