KRONOS® Power Shield provides integrated Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD), unifying Early Warning, Tactical Ballistic Missile (TBM) Surveillance within a single system. Its expansive coverage enables early detection of ascending TBMs, updating the tactical picture and effectively cueing Fire Control Radars (FCRs). During defensive operations, the system’s high data rate and superior detection accuracy ensure timely tracking of descending TBMs, supporting strategic area defence. Tailored for modern naval forces, KRONOS® Power Shield significantly enhances situational awareness and response effectiveness, serving as an indispensable asset for state-of-the-art fleet protection.

At the core of KRONOS® Power Shield’s Fully Digital Antenna lies its Digital Active Tiles (DATs), elevating naval radar capabilities through a scalable, modular design. Each DAT integrates a complete digital radar chain per radiating element, facilitating element-level waveform generation and broadband ADC. With over 1,000 elements grouped into DATs, the architecture achieves granular control and enhanced detection accuracy while enabling adaptive scanning modes. This distributed design supports multi-mission functionality, from ballistic missile tracking to wide-area surveillance, without compromising operational flexibility. The system’s adaptable structure evolves with emerging threats, ensuring naval forces maintain tactical readiness in dynamic environments.

Built on a robust software-defined architecture, KRONOS® Power Shield delivers future-proof adaptability. It features full digital transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx) at the single-element level, providing superior electronic counter-countermeasure (ECCM) capabilities, advanced clutter suppression, and adaptive digital beamforming (ADBF) for optimal contested-environment performance. Stared antenna operation extends radar functionality, while integrated space surveillance capabilities broaden its operational reach. Engineered to meet current and future mission requirements, the system ensures versatile flexibility, operational reliability, and consistent performance for advanced naval defence strategies.
