FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Telephonics
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffon Corporation
(NYSE: GFF), announced today that it has successfully demonstrated
its MOSAIC® Active Electronically Scanned Array
(AESA) radar system aboard a U.S. Navy MH-60S helicopter,
accumulating over 10 hours of operational time during a two-week
period in November. The flight demonstrations, which took place
over the Mid-Atlantic region, showcased for the first time the
system's discriminating capabilities including Autonomous
Anti-Surface Warfare radar operations and true dual beam
technology.
Known as a global leader in the design and development of
maritime surveillance radar systems, Telephonics dual beam
technology, utilizing two independent beams from a single radar
aperture, allows MOSAIC to perform continuous autonomously
scheduled Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging while
simultaneously conducting surveillance, detection and tracking
operations. This drastically reduces the time needed to complete
recognized maritime picture operations. The saved ISAR images are
associated with track parametric data recallable for review, which
reduces operator workload.
"This new generation AESA radar has the potential to provide
great benefit to the future vertical lift platform," said Capt.
Todd Evans, H-60 Multi-Mission
Helicopters (PMA-299) program
manager.
Kevin McSweeney, President,
Telephonics Corporation added, "We are excited to introduce our
MOSAIC AESA system to the marketplace. We are known as an innovator
in design and development of maritime surveillance systems, and
with the numerous advanced modes developed exclusively for this
radar we believe we have a solution that exceeds current AESA
capabilities."
