Radar is the military gold standard for detecting and tracking uncooperative targets, namely those such as small vessels, low-flying aircraft, drones, birds and ground targets that do not broadcast or communicate their identity to stakeholders. Beginning in 1994, a group of talented radar engineers and scientists left Raytheon to develop a new breed of radar-based, smart surveillance solutions that are user-friendly and capable of addressing 21st century, safety and security challenges encountered in homeland security, public safety, aviation safety & security, and environmental protection applications.
After three decades of extensive R&D and continuous product development, Accipiter Radar has succeeded in doing to radar what cellular networks & smart phones have done to radio & telephone. Accipiter’s smart surveillance networks™ platform technology on which its smart surveillance solutions are built has enabled innovative capabilities such as software definable radar, Radar-as-a-Service (RaaS), cognitive radar networks, third-party sensor and C2 agnosticity, wide-area sensor networks, multi-sensor integration & fusion, real-time and historical/analytical processing including AI, big data management, sophisticated health monitoring and remote control, user management, information sharing and interoperability, which are integral to meeting customer and application requirements.
Accipiter Radar has been Targeting a Safer World® for over 30 years now. We are a North American company who sells and operates our smart surveillance solutions around the world to provide all domain awareness to safety and security practitioners who require user-friendly tactical and strategic decision support to protect us and reduce the risks associated with a variety of uncooperative target threats and safety challenges. Accipiter’s proven products and services are now used by governments, airports, marine ports, energy producers, law enforcement, technology innovators and early adopters providing peace of mind while ensuring continuous innovation, growth, flexibility, scalability and continued affordability.
Accipiter is a North American hawk genus which includes several hawk species. The amazing characteristics of the Accipiter explain why we chose this as our company name. Just like an Accipiter, our smart surveillance solutions provide wide-area surveillance, seeking out small maneuvering targets in clutter rich environments. Flying high in a circular pattern, this bird of prey’s resembles a scanning sensor. The razor-sharp eyesight and talons help Accipiter’s hunt in a variety of environments with the agility and precision that also reflects the same accuracy, adaptability, and economy of our systems. Not to mention the sheer beauty of this bird as reflected in this image of a Cooper’s Hawk, one of the Accipiter species.
Accipiter’s mission is to provide the world’s most effective and affordable wide-area situational awareness solutions for applications that impact the safety and well-being of the public, property, and the environment.
Accipiter’s vision is to grow to become the global leader providing wide-area situational awareness and understanding of uncooperative targets through technical superiority and innovation to create the best value solutions as defined by our customers and business partners.
Accipiter recognizes itself as a corporate citizen, and as such, its philosophy is based upon these fundamental beliefs:
We believe a safer world is a better world. That’s why we help keep you safe. We do this by giving safety and security practitioners better awareness and understanding of the threats they protect us from. To achieve this, we design smart surveillance networks™ engineered to monitor the environment and characterize the behaviour of targets such as vessels, aircraft, drones, birds, and vehicles, as well as distributed phenomenon such as weather and ice.
