Motor Vehicles and Spare Partsi

A UK-based SME has developed an advanced imaging radar system designed for high-performance situational awareness applications. The radar offers angular accuracy down to 0.1° and angular resolvability down to 0.5° enabling precise object detection and tracking. Its low power consumption and minimal thermal dissipation make it ideal for integration into compact platforms without the need for forced air cooling or complex thermal management. The technology is particularly suited for use in: • Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and automated driving projects • Aerospace applications, such as automated aircraft taxiing • Security and surveillance systems, including automated monitoring of high-value infrastructure like ports and industrial plants The radar system is robust, compact, and contains no moving parts, making it highly reliable and suitable for harsh environments. The company holds granted patents in the UK, US, and major EU countries, and the technology is currently available for demonstration. The SME seeks international partners—vehicle manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers, aerospace firms, and security solution providers—interested in piloting the technology under a commercial agreement with technical assistance. The goal is to validate use cases, refine integration, and explore future commercial deployment. Advantages and innovations • Angular accuracy down to 0.1° and angular resolvability down to 0.5°, enabling precise object detection and tracking • Low power consumption supports longer operational life and smaller battery requirements • Minimal thermal dissipation eliminates the need for forced air cooling • Compact and robust design with no moving parts, suitable for automotive and aerospace environments • Versatile applications across automotive, aerospace, and security sectors • Patents granted in UK, US, and key EU markets Technical Specification or Expertise Sought The UK company seeks: • Potential partner in the automotive, aerospace and security sectors who will have their own vehicle product or platform suitable to test the unit capabilities on. • Expertise in radar is not essential, but some expertise in integrating advance sensors is required. Stage of development Expected role of a partner Partners may be: • Vehicle manufacturers • Tier 1 automotive suppliers • Aerospace companies • Security and surveillance solution providers Target sectors: • Automotive • Aerospace • Security • Smart mobility • Electronics Role/tasks to be performed by the partner Partners are expected to pilot the imaging radar technology in relevant applications, provide feedback on performance and integration, and explore future commercial deployment. The collaboration aims to validate use cases, refine integration, and potentially transition into long-term commercial relationships.
