NSP-2 Multi-Mode, Multi-Domain SAR/MTI Radar
Compact, Lightweight, and Designed for Small UAVs
Redefining Small-Platform Radar Capability
Compact yet exceptionally capable, the IMSAR NSP-2 delivers advanced radar performance in one of the smallest packages in its class. Designed to bring true multi-mode ISR functionality to lightweight and tactical platforms, the NSP-2 combines precision engineering with powerful imaging and detection technologies. Whether supporting defense, security, or environmental missions, this radar extends operational reach and situational awareness without compromising on size, weight, or power efficiency
Compact, Lightweight, and Designed for Small UAVs – The IMSAR NSP-2 is a high-performance Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Moving Target Indicator (MTI) system optimized for Group 1–2 uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). Built for all-weather, day/night operations, the NSP-2 delivers reliable ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and maritime surveillance in a low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) package weighing under 5 lbs.
Simple to Integrate
The NSP-2 is purpose-built for small UAV platforms and can be integrated in a variety of configurations. IMSAR also offers custom installations to meet unique platform requirements.

Capability Variants
The NSP-2 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
Applications
With the NSP-2, 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.
