XSTAR MOTR

XSTAR MOTR

An affordable TSPI instrumentation radar for simultaneous
precision tracking of multiple targets.

The X-band Space-Time Adaptive Radar/Multiple Object Tracking Radar (XSTAR MOTR) is a revolutionary continuous wave (CW), range-Doppler, time-space position information (TSPI) instrumentation radar. Among its other advanced features, XSTAR is specially designed to address the revised TSPI requirements for leading flight test ranges, including the need for simultaneous, precision tracking of multiple targets. With its unprecedented target-trajectory measurement capability, XSTAR is the highest precision range data measurement tool available.

The XSTAR series of radars are commercial off-the-shelf systems developed to satisfy U.S. DoD major range test facility base (MRTFB) research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) requirements for open-air flight-test programs.
