Development of the first Indonesian S-band radar

Abstract

In this work a prototype of an S-band surveillance radar for maritime applications has been developed. The radar prototype, named INDERA MS-1, will be adopted by local industry to produce maritime radars in Indonesia. INDERA MS-1 is an FMCW radar system with only 5 Watt transmit power. The first outdoor trial of the radar was carried out successfully and as a result, INDERA MS-1 became the first indigenous S-band radar ever built in Indonesia.
