Continuous monitoring of ground and air movements is crucial for modern defense and security operations. Tactical radar systems such as the GO (Ground Observer) 12 from Thales provide real-time situational awareness and can be flexibly integrated into existing combat structures. Mobile, quick to install, and adaptable to many different applications.
Tactical battlefield surveillance
Mobile border protection
The energy supply for these systems presents a significant tactical challenge, particularly during prolonged operations. The radar must operate continuously for extended periods without jeopardising the team’s concealment through frequent battery replacements, noisy generators, or detectable thermal signatures.
The EMILY 3000 is a powerful solution for missions lasting several days: with a 10-liter canister, it can supply the GO 12 radar with uninterrupted power for up to 6 days under operational conditions. In addition, a radio and a tactical laptop can also be powered. Both systems are military-grade, NATO-certified, and battle-tested. They ensure long-term operational endurance of radar-based reconnaissance – quietly, covertly, and independently of external infrastructure.
“EMILY 3000 enables a covert, continuous power supply over several days”
For our radar, we are looking for a low-noise power supply with a low heat signature. Battery changes or additional solar panels increase the risk of detection in the area of operation (e.g., by drones).
