Radar platform company,  Echodyne, is planning to expand its radar production capacity with a 86,350-square-foot facility in Washington State, to meet growing demand for the technology. The US company says that the new space will provide manufacturing and warehouse space for over 30,000 radars per year.

Echodyne’s modular manufacturing approach allows production capacity to flex to match varying demand across product lines as well as seamlessly introducing new product lines and capabilities.

Applications, among them Counter-UAS (C-UAS), beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations for drone-as-first-responders (DFR), force protection, border security, and on-the-move (OTM), call forhigh-resolution radar surveillance on air and land. Echodyne’s patented metamaterials electronically scanned array (MESA) technology delivers the required data fidelity – pinpoint accuracy, track stability, AI-based classification of threats, and well-defined high-speed application programming interfaces (APIs) for easy integration into systems of systems – in a compact, solid-state, commercially-exportable radar product.

“The extraordinary performance of MESA radar stands in marked contrast to the purposeful simplicity of its design, making high-fidelity radar broadly accessible for defense and civilian safety and security applications. This new investment in manufacturing capacity will allow us to supercharge production to meet the rapidly growing global demand for our products,” said Eben Frankenberg, the CEO of Echodyne.

Echodyne is now on a recruitment drive to fill all the vacancies created by the expansion: Echodyne.com/careers.
