RMPA - Replacement Maritime Patrol Aircraft

Array developed the Image Processing Software (IPS) for the Searchwater 2000MR radar and released it to Thales Defence Ltd. Thales Defence is the contractor and Design Authority for the Searchwater 2000MR Radar Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) System for the United Kingdom (UK) Replacement Maritime Patrol Aircraft (RMPA) Programme. This programme involves the supply of Radar and IFF Systems and associated equipment, services and data to a Mission System Contractor (MSC), Prime Contractor and, ultimately, the UK Ministry of Defence.

The IPS will be included as part of all Searchwater 2000MR deliveries for the UK Royal Air Force (RAF) Nimrod MRA4 program. The software provides Stripmap and Spotlight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) modes, and also an Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) function to the Searchwater 2000MR.
