Kelvin Hughes has been contracted by VisSim, a leading VTMS system provider and integrator, to supply a total of 11 SharpEye radar sets for the protection of offshore facilities in Azerbaijan.

As part of VisSim’s Marine Asset Protection and Surveillance System, Kelvin Hughes will be providing 10 SBS-800-1 (3.7m antenna) systems for offshore production platforms in the Caspian Sea, typically two radars per platform, and one SBS-800-2 (5.5m antenna) that will be installed onshore.

The onshore SBS-800-2 system will comprise an upmast X-Band SharpEye radar transceiver with a low profile antenna – the adoption of an upmast solution highlighting the high reliability and maintenance-free characteristics of SharpEye.
