NSP-5 Multimode SAR/MTI Radar System

Compact, Powerful, and Easy to Integrate radar for UAS group 3-4

Compact, Powerful, and Easy to Integrate – The IMSAR NSP-5 radar system is a cutting-edge, weatherized, multimode radar pod engineered for all-weather Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and surface search missions. Designed with a low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) profile, the NSP-5 delivers SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and MTI (Moving Target Indicator) performance in a compact, easy-to-install package.

Simple to Integrate

The NSP-5 radar pod requires only GNSS, power and ethernet to operate, minimizing installation time and complexity.
Integration options include:

  • IMSAR Quick Connect Rail with blind mate connections
  • MIL-Spec 14” lug mounts
  • Custom integration designs from IMSAR’s in-house engineering team for specific aircraft platforms

Compatible platforms include popular UAVs and fixed-wing aircraft such as the Integrator and Shadow.



Compact Size, Low Weight, and Optimized Power

Dimensions (Standard Strongback Configuration):

  • Diameter: 5.4 in (13.7 cm)
  • Length: 46.4 in (117.9 cm)
  • Height: 6.8 in (17.3 cm)
  • Weight: 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg)
  • Power Requirements (SAR & GMTI): 130 W, 28 VDC

Simple to Operate

The NSP-5 SAR/MTI radar is fully compatible with IMSAR’s Lisa 3D Command and Control (C2) and Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) software, offering a streamlined user interface for mission control.

The Radar API allows integration with third-party software to:

  • Slew the radar to an Area of Interest (AOI)
  • Begin immediate data collection
  • Access radar products and system status in real-time

High-Quality Data for Critical Missions

With the NSP-5, operators get high-resolution radar imaging and advanced processing capabilities for maritime surveillance, ground moving target detection, and all-weather ISR operations. The system delivers reliable situational awareness even in low visibility conditions such as fog, clouds, or darkness.
