Add bookmarkThe SCV system incorporates SharpEye™'s I (X) band solid state technology, replacing the traditional magnetron based systems with a fully coherent solidstate transceiver, in a lightweight, environmentally sealed unit with multiple dome options.

The SCV system can detect a man in the water up to 1 NM (Nautical Mile) away, a small boat at 2.5 NM and a large boat at 24 NM. As well as detecting surface objects, the system can also detect aerial targets such as low level UAVs.
The system can be installed on a variety of vessels such as Hovercraft, patrol boats, fast attack craft, life boats, search and rescue vessels and landing craft. It was reportedly designed for ‘Special Forces, raiding teams, boarding and search and rescue missions'.
