DD-R10 Low-Altitude Drone Detection Radar
DD-R10 is a three-dimensional low-altitude surveillance radar that detects and continuously tracks drones, aircraft and birds, while also monitoring ground targets such as people and vehicles, and surface targets such as vessels. It uses a low-power continuous-wave design that is harder to intercept than pulse radar, and can guide EO/IR cameras and other sensors inside a cooperative detection system.
- Fixed-site
- Tripod
- Vehicle-mounted
What it does
X-band 3D radar for drones, aircraft, birds, vehicles and vessels, with ≥ 500 simultaneous tracks.
Precise measurement
Range ≤ 5 m, velocity ≤ 0.5 m/s, angle ≤ 0.3° (RMS).
Low interception risk
Continuous-wave operation at low transmit power, harder to detect than pulse radar.
Clutter suppression
Extracts weak targets against ground or weather clutter with a low false-alarm rate.
Fast deployment
Modular design; host and pedestal pack into two aluminium transport cases.
The DD-R radar family
Four low-altitude radars share one architecture and differ in band, range and size. The model number follows the detection range for a small drone.

| DD-R1 | Ku-band | ≥ 1.5 km | ≥ 3.5 km | 600 m | −5° to 60° | ≥ 100 | ≤ 120 W | ≤ 23 kg |
| DD-R5 | X-band | ≥ 5 km | ≥ 10 km | 1000 m | −5° to 40° | ≥ 200 | ≤ 260 W | ≤ 29 kg |
| DD-R8 | X-band | ≥ 8 km | ≥ 15 km | 2000 m | −4° to 60° | ≥ 300 | ≤ 330 W | ≤ 33 kg |

FAQ
DD-R10: frequently asked questions
What is the DD-R10?
The DD-R10 is an X-band, three-dimensional low-altitude surveillance radar. It detects and tracks drones, aircraft and birds, and also monitors people, vehicles and surface vessels.
How far can the DD-R10 detect a small drone?
A small drone with a radar cross-section of 0.01 m² (for example a DJI Phantom 4) is detected at 10 km or more; a 1 m² target at 20 km or more. Maximum detection altitude is 3000 m and the blind zone is 50 m.
How many targets can the DD-R10 track at once?
500 or more simultaneous tracks, with a standard refresh time of 2 seconds (1 second as an upgrade).
Can the DD-R10 guide EO/IR cameras?
Yes. It can cue EO/IR cameras and other sensors inside a cooperative detection system.
How is the DD-R10 deployed?
On a fixed mount, a tripod or a vehicle. The host and pedestal pack into two aluminium transport cases. The radar is rated IP66 (host IP67) and runs on DC 36–52 V at 400 W or less.
