CICERO, N.Y. — SRC, Inc., a not-for-profit defense research and development company, announced it has expanded its Gryphon Multi-Mission Radar family with the launch of two new systems — the Gryphon R1430/R1440 and Gryphon R1540.

Building on the Gryphon R1410 radar, the new systems deliver powerful, mobile, and precise capabilities against the threat of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) across complex operational environments, SRC contends. The next-generation systems provide force protection to the U.S. and its allies by countering the increased use of UAS in contested environments.

“The proliferation of low-cost, high-impact UAS is one of the greatest challenges facing America and our allies today,” SRC President/CEO Kevin Hair said in the announcement. “With the Gryphon family of radars, we’re offering scalable, mobile radar solutions that give warfighters and security forces the power to detect, track, and respond to threats of all kinds, both on the move or at the halt, without compromise.”

While counter-UAS is a primary application, the new radars also provide precision tracking of various aircraft, vehicles, personnel, and rocket, artillery, and mortar (RAM) threats. They are multi-mission capable, supporting SHORAD, base defense, force protection, and coastal and border security either on the move or in fixed locations.

The Gryphon radars integrate with other SRC technologies including real-time sensor fusion, weapons and sensor cueing, and threat mitigation.

Founded in 1957, SRC is headquartered in Cicero and focuses on areas that include defense, environment, and intelligence. The company has more than 1,400 employees.
