Seaspray
7500E V2
AESA Surveillance Radar
The 7500E V2 radar is the new variant of the highly successful Seaspray Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar family, featuring an updated processor and receiver technology to meet the evolving demands of the ISR mission set.
7500E V2 is the largest and most capable Seaspray AESA radar, enhancing the operationally proven 7500E. A comprehensive suite of air, sea, and land surveillance and imaging modes equips platforms with enhanced multi-domain capabilities.
The ability to rapidly interleave modes enables effective operation in the most complex environments including littoral scenarios. The AESA radar-equipped platform is becoming the Force Commander’s ISR asset of choice, bringing a considerable step forward in both capability and reliability.

AESA technology and flexible waveform generation enable the delivery of peak performance in all modes. Using multiple low-power, solid-state transmit/receive modules (TRM) the Seaspray 7500E V2 is inherently more reliable than legacy mechanically-scanned radar systems.
Reliability improvements manifest themselves in greater availability, fewer spares holdings, simpler maintenance, and through-life support; increasing the probability of mission success. This operationally demonstrated increased availability and time between failures suits surveillance missions demanding an extended persistence capability in high-tempo environments.
