As MatrixSpace has developed a name in the industry, their engineers have developed a ground-breaking product.  Today, they’ve launched a radar  – small, lightweight, and incredibly powerful.  The ability to detect the size, precise location, and the movement of objects could be a game changer for advanced drone operations and airspace awareness systems.

MatrixSpace Announces MatrixSpace Radar

Today, radar and AI sensing leader MatrixSpace announced MatrixSpace Radar, the first in a series of AI sensing products designed to provide cost-effective, long-distance sensing, tracking, monitoring and inspection solutions. MatrixSpace Radar is the size of a cell phone and weighs under a pound, making it the most portable high-performance radar available. The solution is able to measure the size, location, and movement of objects in time, in the air or on the ground, and in all manner of weather conditions.

Most available radar options are either simple solutions with low range, or expensive and bulky military-grade solutions requiring specialist skills to operate and high amounts of power. MatrixSpace Radar provides an option for large-scale use cases, such as semi-autonomous mobile platforms, general aviation and portable or fixed systems.

MatrixSpace seeks to provide real-time AI edge-based sensing capable of detecting and tracking multiple types of objects in any situation. Bringing together industry leading sensing, AI edge processing and RF communication in real-time has the potential to completely restructure business models throughout various vertical market applications. The MatrixSpace Radar serves as the cornerstone of this open architecture sensing platform.

“We’re bringing high performance radar and AI sensing products to mainstream industries that have never even considered their use,” said MatrixSpace Co-founder and CEO Greg Waters. “Our radar architecture represents a completely different way for customers across a variety of industries to digitize the outdoors, then using AI to inform them of exactly what’s out there. It’s a radically new level of situational awareness.” .

“The opportunity to re-think radar technology is long overdue,” said Dan Nobbe, MatrixSpace’s Vice President of RF and Radar Systems. “With progress in silicon integration and AI, we can now deliver high-performance radars at a breakthrough performance, size and power.”
