CICERO, N.Y. — SRC, Inc. says it worked with Nippon Kaiyo Co., Ltd. on the first deployment of its Gryphon R1410 radar system in Japan.
Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications recently certified the radar, making it the first counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) radar of its kind to receive official approval in the country, SRC said in the Jan. 6 announcement.
“Nippon Kaiyo Co., Ltd. is proud to partner with SRC to provide the Gryphon R1410 system to Japan. It has now been successfully implemented in a facility designated as important for securing national security in Japanese law,” Tatsuo Yamashita, president of Nippon Kaiyo Co., Ltd., said in the SRC announcement. “This achievement will be crucial in strengthening the structure of national security, particularly for C-UAS. We extend our sincere gratitude to SRC for their invaluable support in making this project a reality.”
SRC is a nonprofit corporation headquartered in Cicero that focuses on areas that include defense, environment, and intelligence.
The Gryphon R1410 is a 3-D active electronically scanned array radar designed for air surveillance and multi-mission capabilities. It has a focus on detecting small, low-altitude targets within a 10-kilometer range, SRC said.
Described as “engineered for adaptability and high performance,” the radar’s low size, weight and power provides “maximum flexibility,” operating in all weather conditions, the firm noted.
“We are proud to partner with Nippon Kaiyo to bring our Gryphon R1410 system to Japan,” Kevin Hair, president and CEO of SRC, Inc., said in the firm’s announcement. “This deployment underscores our dedication to delivering innovative solutions for our global partners and ensuring the safety of warfighters and security personnel worldwide.”
