It puts me in mind of that Only Fools and Horses episode, when Del Boy installed a satellite dish stolen from Gatwick Airport on their balcony. All the Gatwick flights were diverting over Peckham. 🤣🤣
Hello man, I have first seen your channel awile back when doing research for number stations...It got me interested in HF radio, and passed my Ham radio technican class..now I have gotten my own HF station and antenna, an old Kenwood TS-440s with an auto tuner and a 20m endfed antenna. It'd be nice to hear you on the air one day! 73, Antonio 9A3CFE
Congratulations on your technician license and building your first HF station. Hope to hear you on the airwaves soon.
Joe, K7EXO
Well done sir from the uk
Good job man.👍
From VK3 land.
That. Is. Awesome. Always seems so cool to me that in the day and age of essentially free and license-free 24/7 communication via the Internet that there's still folks getting and even renewing their ham licenses. Really makes me want to get some new gear and start experimenting again ... especially since there's now new and cool info that's around that wasn't when my grandfather got me into the hobby (back at the end of the 90s when everyone assumed the Internet would kill ham radio).
Thanks for sharing this. Have fun! ❤❤
Wow, Hrvat?! :)
1. Develop expensive anti-drone RADAR system;
2. fly drones near airport runways;
3. sell a shitload of expensive anti-drone RADAR systems to airports;
4. $$$
Tie it to a ballistic computer, a targeting system, and a .50 cal plus automated gun that can move incredibly fast.
Basically make the Expanse "PDF" systems. Add to every vehicle.
Profit.
Not sure how good these would be at actually giving targeting data for a ballistic lock. People forget seeing isn't enough for radar.
We had portable cw doppler radars to protect GLCM missile deployment dispersed site locations in 1983-1987. US Army P2 units used these also to help defend their missile battery dispersed hide locations in the event of a war with the Warsaw Pact. The radar could detect approaching personnel to about 1000 meters in open terrain (across farm fields where we were in tree covered forested areas. That was more than enough warn then to ID and engage as necessary. During training missions, we had red opfor forces that would attempt to recon and then simulate ground attacks. Opfor used a simple counter measure of an AM radio tuned to static, so when the main beam of the side to side rotating radar would hit them, the radio would get noisy in the earpiece, so they'd freeze. no doppler velocity and thus no detection. They could use this creep-freeze tactic to slowly approach if they were very careful. So doppler radars can be defeated with good tactics and some low tech kit. Slower flying Aircraft can use beaming tactics to defeat Doppler AI radars as well, well demonstrated many times.
Reminds me of the tricks that Richard Marcinko used as part of redcell (SEAL). Genius level people in those groups.
what an interesting bit of info - thanks for sharing!
The fact that you can write your own custom software (within limits) makes this a universally powerful radar unit. What a well thought out trifecta of tech abilities combined in a single detection & jamming package. Love your videos
EXCELLENT COVERAGE LEWIS! As someone from the military surveillance radar field I have been watching Blighter (and ealier Plextek) for many years. Unfortunately i never had to answer a requirement that would have needed them. You may be interested in the company called Aveillant which also has very interesting (but different) technology also with non-rotating antennas. They are also well worth checking out. Thales bought them a few years ago, because they also offer something quite unique. All the best, Rob in Switzerland
This is brilliant, Lewis! Your videos consistently blow me away. Not to sound like a broken record (remember those?), but the quality and thoroughness of your research and presentation is top-shelf. Cheers!
Wow, thank you!
Real DJs use vinyl.
I remember 8-Tracks as well...😊
@@RingwayManchesterIt is fantastic and we all love it!
Excellent content. 👍 Many of these Radars are only 2D, but that is typical for search Radar systems. Going back to the early days of military Radar, it was quite standard to have a search Radar which provided detection, azimuth, and range as well as IFF stimulus, and then a second tracking Radar for more. Interesting targets would be interrogated by a secondary "height-finder" Radar to get the elevation and a 2nd source to verify the range, as well as to provide resistance to countermeasures. The Height-Finder would be rotated to the detected azimuth where it would do vertical sweeps to range the target. Being able to use phased arrays for azimuth and elevation is powerful indeed.
Think they were called nodding dogs
Sounds a lot like the Pave Paws system used by the USA to monitor their borders against enemy aircraft and ships. They use phase arrays that scan electronically today moving away from the older relay activated arrays. Now this brought about issues with the USA 70 cm band which share the same frequencies. There are areas where they asked 70cm repeater operators to cease operations within a set mileage from the radar site to eliminate interference to the electronically controlled phase array antennas. So far they have not developed computers powerful enough to eliminate ham radio interference from the arrays.
The US cold war system called SAGE used both the search and height finders at numerous SAGE RADAR sites ...
@@Subgunman The USA monitors it's borders now????
This is probably hard to jam in itself because it would just pique the location of the jam signal 🤣
As I get older, I enjoy learning more about this "get off my lawn" type of tech. 🙂
The last time I had a chat with a radar engineer was forty years ago and I was impressed with the way clutter was suppressed then, but this stuff is of a different order. You have put a hell of a lot of research into this very comprehensive and absorbing video. Thanks for your upload and time you must have put into it.
As an aside, your mention of F1 telemetry reminded me of when I did some work in that part of the country. I was a subcontractor for Pacific Racing based in Thetford, and set up a radio system to provide telemetry for the Magneti Marelli equipment. Interesting stuff, and cutting edge at the time, but there again that was thirty years ago.
That was forty years ago, like you said. It's like seeing an early mobile phone in the 80s, then seeing them occasionally over 40 years and being impressed.
Absolutely brilliant was that Lewis! Love the technical ones you do. Keep up the great work.
How long before local councils find a use for them lol
The issue with target discrimination is if you are trying to determine animal or human 2D radar isn't enough you need that secondary VID using IR/EO sensors. Radar can only see movement and speed and make a guess on what it is based on RCS and that data. Speed gate can limit false returns from birds, and other moving clutter, but moving slower then that don't get seen.
Not sure why youtube recommended this to me but the EE in me enjoys this greatly.
That is some amazing technology for sure! Thanks for explaining it to us, I enjoyed it very much.
Nobody's thought to install this on the southern coast of England to help inform French maritime patrols when small boats are being launched?
William the Conqueror has entered the chat.
They do not care about us.
@krismorgan wrong they actively hate you

great info. many thanks (trivial one, 1.26W into 23dBi antenna is 252W eirp)
I got the same, X200
There are 3 levels of surveillance: The level we have all agreed to live with, the level nobody has agreed to but They use anyway, and the level that is actually possible which is inescapable and could potentially have me vaporized by a satellite laser before finishing this paragr💥
I find radar and radio SO interesting and I don’t know why. I have a huge weird fear of large electrical equipment.
I also have never studied any of this. No idea why it’s so fascinating.
Radio technology is the backbone of everything from _wireless telegraphy_ to _Wi-Fi._
@@Allan_aka_RocKITEman Probably better to study how to live without it then.
I've seen these in specific locations pointed in a particular direction. I had no idea exactly what they were until now. I just know they looked a lot like the same concept as a shotgun microphone to detect certain threats. I've always wondered why they don't just use a 1000 watt glorified WiFi router with beam forming on steroids to track and fry the transceiver on consumer grade drones. In theory, as long as you get the frequency just right, and you can focus enough power with pin point accuracy, you can melt the drone's antenna or the pre-amp in the receiver. It would be a last resort effort, because you're firing a beam of high power interference off into the horizon.
Now I can finally know when the postman comes by. He seems to fool my Ring doorbell half the time. I'll get him now!
Very interesting info about these anti-drone systems. I have been interested in this since we started to have drones interfere with forest firefighting aviation.
Always makes my day when a, Ringway Manchester post hit's. There always of interest to me. And once again m8. Gratitude for introducing me to the wonderful world of all thing's radio!
SUPERB.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Turns out the gatwick incident wasnt even drones
So when are you looking to purchase one for the back garden?
Back in 1967 in My RAF days I was operating a radarwith a range of about 250 Miles. 15 miles is binocular range.
I never knew I needed to know this, now I do and I'm a better person. Thanks Lewis! :-D
Fantastic content. Your level of detail is refreshing.Thank you!!
I'm surprised that the three helical antennas (log periodic?) for countermeasures are not enclosed in a radome because it is easy to identify what frequency range they are targeting from their dimensions. Perhaps they are not expecting most illegal operators to modify the drone's communication system to try and defeat them... UPDATE - they probably don't need to hide the inhibitor frequencies because they are well known and publicised: 433MHz, 915MHz, 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz and GNSS.
I build drones and can confirm that most drones use 915MHz for control, 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz for control and/or video.
1.2ghz, 868mhz too
Excellent video - massive research on your side. Great work Lewis.
This is super cool. I have no need for such a setup but I want one now 😄
Me too! 😂 welcome aboard by the way
It was the French who made the system.
I wonder why an outdoor system did not use gaming style goggles for the display.
Why?
Brilliant video ! Please make one about the Aaronia SDR equipment and drone detection systems.
Absolutely brilliant as usual👏👏

{Great video, Lewis.}
Great content as always, Lewis.
Doesn’t stop everything. Gatwick we proved that :)
That was really fascinating. Thanks for the video.
Never seen these, another informatic video, thank you very much.
infantry radar!
I remember the demo of the coyote we were shown, older gen M-STAR and a infrared camera/laser tripod on a 200m cable, another on a raising pole. Old cathode tube console in the back like a giant green fishbowl for a monitor.
back it into a building and run the cables up to the 3rd story inside a window, petty cool kit.
what's amazing is they can do so much, watch troops at a distance, pick up vehicles, medium-large UAV, helicopters, and even observe fall of shot for artillery.
There's some very clever shit out there!
Great video! Very interesting, especially the micro doppler signature detection...mind blown! 🤯
Great video! Love these interesting videos you do.
Awesome as always 🎉
Passive RF drone detection is also a big field that you might find interesting. It's an RF silent system, much smaller and more discrete; so much harder to detect/notice.
(Source, I work on one as an engineer at LiveLink Aerospace in the UK! #notasalesperson)
Curious question, but what if someone uses a frequency that isn't expected to control the drone? Aka out of band? Drones can be dangerous at major gatherings and near airports and military sites. They need protected! You do a good service!
@@AldoSchmedack our RF detection stuff wouldn't see it unless it was operating in a band we're listening to. We have other sensors that are agnostic to RF that would though. If drones did start becoming popular in a new band it's quite easy to add it to the list. We may need new antennas though to get any decent range depending on the frequency.
superb video mate , very interesting , thanks !
Not sure why I'm worried bit it feels like I should be🤷♂
That is some awesome tech! As always thank you for the video. So happy to have found this channel and I am never disappointed with the content. Peaks my curiously and cements it in facts. Also I am pretty much blind so sorry about spelling ect...
Awesome, thank you!
Nice, just let we dont forget that is much easier to detect radar beaming head on, than for radar to pick up reflection from the target.
Drone whit guidance on radar signal or even jamming signal whoud be a big problem.
Kh-31 in miniature....
Could have passive radars further out to help with target discriminations.
@@CheapSushiAgree, passive radars are wery interesting. Esp now days when there are strong signals all ower the spectar. Near urban areas signal levels are incredible, i live by a GSM tower in 200m distance and its 30dB higher than noise flore, some bands even more. For a single near signal thats nothing but we are talking tens of Mhz band width.
I WANT ONE!!
Thank you Lewis!🎉
really good video. great detail and impressive equipment
Nice review of the Blighter system, keep up the good work.
That’s an extensive report about a technology I did not know about. Should be relativity easy to jam or have a missile hunt it down quickly.
"relativity easy" == not easy at all 😕
Neat looking kit. Looks expensive. Should of named it Blinger®
Great video mate! 👏🏽👏🏽
Brilliantly informative!
Love the content Lewis
I live only about a mile or so from Plextek. I always wondered what they did. A pretty unassuming building on the edge of an industrial area in a sleepy village on the Essex/Cambridgeshire border.
Thanks for sharing, shared.
Well researched and explained, very interesting
Excellent!
Great info!
Interesting! I picked up on a radar detector developed for the military use in Europe, probably surplus from the Bosnian war from what I have determined. It consisted of a handheld device resembling a small handheld police radar with a pair of rechargeable batteries and a simple earphone. I tested this against a Ka band police radar that I brought with me from the states. The unit is quite sensitive even the pulsed mode instant on technology. In general it would alert the user of the presence of antipersonnel radar.
I wonder if these systems can be neutralized by radar seeking guided misses?
Yes, they can.
Excellent stuff.
CUAS guy here
Blighter latest radar is dated (my opinion) you (American companies & allies anyway) can buy civillian available 3D AESA radar with 100+ degree horizontal scan and 75+ degree vertical scan capable of reaching 8+km for drones but be prepared to pay somewhere around 150k for a single unit. Smaller units capable of 800-1000M mini drones around somewhere around 75k. They also have higher angular accuracy than even the new blighter system. Of course, this is just for the radars, and not for any C&C Software or intervention & tracking systems.
The largest difference is the coverage area is in the 3D Space and angular accuracy, and not just slices of the sky.
Im being a bit ambiguous on purpose.
Really freaking cool stuff. I have some of these units and they are absolutely astonishingly good. Radar is amazing.
Smaller ground based radars are available also, which are fantastic for critical infrastructure, or other security needs. (
Congrats on the 100k subs
'Blighter' sounds like someone coming from Blighty!
Your content never disappoints.
I need one for my car
I’ve come to the conclusion there are some very smart people out there
DOH...That's going to stuff Amazon's new Drone package delivery service ...😱
interesting research....Cambridge, continues to be Britains tech powerhouse
First saw these at Farnborough many years ago!
Feels like this could be a very good complement to ILS systems at airports
Why do you say that?
@@RingwayManchester That could help avoid false glideslopes capturing... the 6 and 9 degree ones specially. And probably more things that i'm not aware or not thinking about
i say this because i heard it has altitude detection
Ahh I see interesting stuff! I learn something new every day. Cheers
@@RingwayManchesterMentour Pilot’s channel will have you accidentally ending up an aviation geek. Highly recommend it. Basically during an instrument landing system approach, the pilot tries to stay between two vertical, and two horizontal beams, this allows them to see that they’re on the correct glide slope and centred on the runaway…
There’s a a slight issue that can lead to a false reading if the pilot tries to capture the slope when they’re coming in too high, above the upper horizontal beam.
Their altimeter, or ATC’s radar should help them work this out, but sometimes it gets missed.
Having more automated ways to alert ATC staff to warn pilots that they’re coming in high, low, or off centre during low visibility would definitely be useful.
When i was a kid i lived near bell labs in holmdel where they worked on design for the nike missile that had a base right up the next hill in what is now holmdel park.
I couldn't set for on the big fields surrounding that building without a security guy comming out. I asked once how they saw me because of all the foliage and he laughed as he said we got our radar.
Love your channel!
Thank you so much!
Very interesting thanks
Use microwave fractal antennas and a sweep across different frequencies with a wide band receiver and you could make it both incredibly difficult to jam and effectively a jammer in its own right. Nitride based amplifiers for the win.❤
Great intel
just saw you got past 100k! well earned lewis.
It is a pity that they don't come in more colours. 🙂
Nice vid Lewis, as always! The best from LB1NH 🙂
Loved the video being retired military but I was a medic so most of the vid went woosh over my thick Scottish scull (god knows his I got my foundation licence lol) keep the vids coming and don't know if you did it already years ago there were ptt phones mostly state side if yoh do vid on that one day I'd be a happy scotsman doing a Highland fling and hoping it's nit windy or too cold as don't want to embarrass masel. Keep the awsom vids coming
This is extremely important, why no SERE videos talk about this?
thank you
Well done on the pronunciation THALES there😊
In Australia they pronounce it as "Thayalls"
Another way to take joy out of life
There is a fine line between radar, communications/ controls and DEW's lol
Gives a whole new meaning to
" You little Blighter "
Or
Get back to Blighty !!

are these somewhat like radars like for small boats. or the ones shown here more sensitive. showing up small drones. im not sure boat radars would show up drones. but ive not enuf experence with them. but would like to know more about these. intresting subject.
23Dbi is impressive gain.
Plextek with the tag line " Exceptional technology to positively impact the future " makes me think of " Veridian Dynamics " ( look up the commercials )
Interesting! Cheers.
0:59 had to do a double take on the street image to realize it's from Hatanpää, Tampere, Finland and I literally cycle to work through this bit of road shown.
