Sampson Multi Function Radar

Sampson is the primary surveillance and dedicated tracking sensor on the Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyers. It’s fully software-configurable and features adaptive digital beamforming techniques to combat clutter and high electronic counter measure environments.

 

Able to simultaneously detect and track hundreds of targets, Sampson is compatible with both active and semi-active homing missile systems, providing mid-course guidance. It supports fully automatic operation where rapid reaction is required. Sampson also represents good value for money.
