CAMBRIDGE, England,
December 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
- S-Connect, in Seoul, now
fully qualified to build, test, support and maintain Blighter
electronic scanning (e-scan) radars from its new, dedicated
manufacturing facility at Jeongok
Blighter Surveillance Systems Ltd (www.blighter.com), a British
designer and manufacturer of electronic-scanning (e-scan) radars
and surveillance solutions, is targeting further expansion into
Korea with the appointment of S-Connect, in Seoul, as its local manufacturing partner
(www.s-connect.co.kr).
S-Connect is a leading manufacturer of precision assemblies and
electronics for the mobile phone, tablet PC and medical devices
markets. Following intense training in the UK and in Korea,
S-Connect is now fully qualified to build, test, support and
maintain Blighter e-scan radars. The partnership has also led to
the establishment by S-Connect of a new, dedicated radar
manufacturing and support facility at Jeongok, southwest of
Seoul.
Blighter Surveillance Systems has been active in Korea since
2008 and has already sold more than 100 radar units into the
country including to the Republic of Korea Army to monitor the
highly sensitive de-militarised zone (DMZ), a buffer zone which
runs 250 km across the Korean peninsula and separates North
and South Korea.
Mark Radford, CEO, Blighter
Surveillance Systems, said: "The strategic partnership with
S-Connect demonstrates our commitment to the Korean market and our
desire to enable localisation of our radars for current and future
security surveillance programmes in Korea. Having an experienced
and competent in-country partner will also enable faster support to
our growing base of customers."
Mr. ByungSub Sim, director, S-Connect, said: "Blighter e-scan
radars are recognised as best-in-class in Korea because of their
successful deployment along the DMZ. We believe there is much
potential for future sales into both commercial and military
applications and that is why we have extended our partnership with
Blighter and invested in a new dedicated radar manufacturing
facility at Jeongok."
The Blighter range of maintenance-free solid-state micro Doppler
passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radars are already
deployed in 35 countries to deliver round the clock all-weather
protection along borders, for coastal facilities, at military
bases, and to guard critical national infrastructure such as
airports, oil and gas facilities and palaces.
The radar products supported by S-Connect include the Blighter
B400 series for ground surveillance, the Blighter C400 series for
coastal security, and the Blighter Revolution 360 radar system for
vehicle mounted solutions.
Blighter Surveillance Systems delivers an integrated
multi-sensor package to system integrators comprising the Blighter
radars plus cameras, thermal imagers, trackers and software
solutions. Its ITAR-free systems are used worldwide in commercial,
government and defence markets in area and asset protection for
