Large Aperture Radar
Trex Enterprises' large aperture programs are based on Trex's patented Rapid Optical Beam Steering (ROBS) technology. This cutting-edge technology combines sensitive target detection capabilities and rapid repositioning. We have successfully demonstrated this technology at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) and are presently at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai.
ROBS Technology
ROBS technology is based on a compact optical design and provides several capabilities including:
- Monitoring high-speed, multiple-target missile tests
- A highly-agile beam director for transportable high energy lasers
- A wide optical field-of-view
- Precision pointing and tracking (track/image missiles, aircraft, and rockets)
ROBS has been utilized in over 15 missions at White Sands Missile Range and presently being used at Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii for Navy and MDA ballistic intercept tests
3DATA Technology
Three-Dimensional Acquisition and Tracking Assembly (3DATA) technology is based on the ROBS design. We thus enabled the first in the world demonstration of multiple object tracking with significant optical resolution. 3DATA capabilities include:
- Capability to track 20 airborne targets simultaneously
- Tracks and images--missiles, aircraft, and rockets
- Dozen of missions at White Sands Missile Range Provides broad area coverage and high resolution for multiple-object tracking and imagery
