A next-generation multi-mode synthetic aperture radar delivering all-weather surveillance, high-resolution imaging, and moving target tracking for manned aircraft.

EagleEye Radar – Multi-Mode All-Weather Surveillance Radar by General Atomics

EagleEye Radar is a next-generation, multi-mode synthetic aperture radar developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. It is designed to deliver persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance for manned and unmanned aircraft operating in complex and contested environments. Optimized for all-weather, day-and-night performance, EagleEye provides reliable situational awareness where electro-optical sensors are limited.

Key Features and Advantages

1. Multi-Mode SAR and MTI Capability

EagleEye integrates advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar modes, including Spotlight, Stripmap, and Brickmap, with Ground and Dismount Moving Target Indication. This combination enables high-resolution imaging and precise tracking of moving targets across wide operational areas.

2. Maritime Surveillance and ISAR Imaging

The radar supports Maritime Wide Area Surveillance and Inverse SAR imaging, allowing detection, classification, and monitoring of vessels at extended ranges. These capabilities enhance maritime domain awareness in coastal, littoral, and open-ocean operations.

3. All-Weather, Day/Night Performance

Operating independently of light and weather conditions, EagleEye ensures continuous ISR coverage in rain, cloud, smoke, and dust. This makes it highly effective in degraded visual environments and adverse climates.

4. Low-SWaP, Multi-Mission Design

Engineered as a low Size, Weight, and Power payload, EagleEye consolidates multiple mission functions into a single radar system. This reduces aircraft integration complexity while increasing operational flexibility.

5. Mature, Interoperable Architecture

Field-proven on numerous platforms, EagleEye complies with standard military data formats and supports automation and AI-enabled target detection for faster, mission-focused decision making.
