Now Available, the 2D Digital Multi-Beamforming Radar System Enables Automated Detection, Tracking, Deterrence, and Response to Intrusions Within 1 km+ Radius of Critical Sites
Huntsville, Ala., Aug. 27, 2026 — Observation Without Limits (O.W.L.), a U.S.-based manufacturer of 2D and 3D radars for ground and low-altitude airspace surveillance applications, is proud to announce its upgraded GroundAware® GA1360LH 2D 360-degree digital multi-beamforming radar system. Now available, the customizable GA1360LH target classification distinguishes among humans, animals, and ground and water vehicles for alarming on targets of concern within and around critical sites.
“Our original GA1360 radar was designed to function as the wide-area perimeter intrusion detection sensor that helped meet NERC CIP-014 requirements for transmission substations,” said Adam Robinett, O.W.L. CEO. “The GA1360 quickly became our workhorse ground surveillance radar that serves as the foundation for event-based layered security at all kinds of critical infrastructure sites. Now, our GA1360LH provides longer detection ranges and improved target tracking for automated detection, tracking, deterrence, and response to intrusions within a 1 km radius of critical sites.”
Added Robinett, “That’s coverage for up to 750 acres or 300 hectares by a single radar, meaning more coverage with fewer sensors and less costly infrastructure than required by other sensors. This means attractive total cost of ownership at a time when constrained budgets are dealing with ever-growing physical security requirements.”
Designed for ground and water surface applications, the GA1360LH is a powerful solution for protecting a range of critical sites, including electrical transmission substations, power plants, natural gas compression stations, dams, water reservoirs, water treatment facilities, midstream oil and gas facilities, airports, seaports, rail facilities, mines, large-scale manufacturing plants, data centers, storage facilities (such as large automobile distribution centers), and campuses of other critical sites with open perimeters and areas of concern.
Additional GA1360LH features and specifications include:
- Digital beamforming radar technology for highly reliable all-weather detection and tracking of all target types
- 1 km+ detection ranges on ground and water vehicles, 600 m range on humans
- Seamless integration with ONVIF cameras, video management systems (Genetec, Milestone, Avigilon, and many others), access control systems, physical security information management systems, audible alarms, security lights, drones, and more
- Customizable alarm zones with automatic response triggers
- Solid state system with no moving parts
- Full hardware warranty and software maintenance/support coverage
- Processing Type: Pulsed Doppler
- Frequency Band: S (3.0 GHz – 3.3 GHz)
- Azimuth FOV: 360 degree
- Elevation FOV: 40 degree
