Blighter hosting overseas delegations at Security & Policing

Blighter will be hosting delegations from Estonia, Iraq, Latvia and Lithuania at this year’s Security & Policing (S&P) exhibition - the global security event organised by the UK Government - taking place at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre, 11th to 13th March 2025.

Blighter will be showcasing its ITAR-free 2D, 3D and 4D smart/cognitive radars as well as its new BlighterNexus AI-assisted connectivity and processing hub software.

BlighterNexus is designed to drastically reduce the training and operational burden on systems integrators looking to incorporate smart radars into their command and control (C2) systems.

James Long, CEO at Blighter, said: “We are continuing to win new overseas border and coastal security contracts with solutions based around our patented, low power Blighter B400 and Blighter C400 ground-based micro-Doppler radars.

"With our ITAR free products, the necessary export licenses in place, and a reputation for ultra reliability – our radars have been monitoring the Korean Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) for over a decade – we look forward to forging further partnerships at this year’s S&P event.”

Since introducing the world’s first, non-rotating, solid-state, electronic-scanning, micro-Doppler ground radar in 2003, Blighter has continued to lead this market with radars and advanced AI (artificial intelligence) assisted software to detect, track and classify small and slow-moving threats in complex environments.

Pattern of life analysis is now used to enhance situational analysis and the speed and efficiency of threat detection. Blighter radars also feature Low-Probability-of-Intercept (LPI) waveforms and are designed for rugged operation at fixed and mobile locations and on the move. Blighter supports the local assembly of certain products to enable indigenous manufacture.
