Australia's Silentium Defence has secured a contract with the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) to test its MAVERICK passive radar across a range of maritime applications, company official told Janes .

Dr James Palmer, CEO of Silentium Defence, told Janes on 11 March that “this is a gated process to design, install, and evaluate” the MAVERICK passive radar systems in the maritime domain.

“It's part of a long-term strategic partnership that has already begun, aligned with our government's recognition of passive radar as a sovereign industrial capability priority (SICP),” he added.

“Passive radar can be used in line with most uses of active radar in early warning and surveillance,” Palmer said, adding that passive radar “is applicable to all classes of vessels”.

“We are just working through a trials programme to work out the most applicable application to each vessel,” he said.
