Gabbiano 
Gabbiano is a state-of-the-art, X-band Pulse Doppler Radar conceived to match a variety of all-weather surveillance missions, over Ground along coasts and on sea.
In addition to the standard Air-to-Surface Search modes with TWS and Navigation Aid modes, this Radar provides the High resolution modes in the sub-meter class enabling  the User to classify the intercepted targets (ISAR) and to identify the fixed targets (SAR).
When employed in Ground Surveillance Missions, GMTI mode allows detection of slow moving targets on ground.
Gabbiano is a versatile Radar: suitable for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, as well as for both fixed and rotary wing manned Platforms, it isavailable in two variants:
with 360° antenna, for belly-mounted installation, or with ± 90° antenna, for nose-mounted installation.
 
In its baseline configuration, with an SSPA based Transmitter with an average power of 20 W,  Gabbiano can be employed both for Homeland Security missions and for Search and Rescue (SaR) and maritime surveillance missions.
 
Key points are Low power consumption (450 W) from a single Power supply source (28 V dc) along with standard and flexible interfaces, low weight and LPI characteristics.
 
For more demanding surveillance missions, Gabbiano is available with a more powerfull TWT based Transmitter, in two configurations:
Gabbiano POWER: 200 W average power;
Gabbiano Long Eye:  560 W average power.
MINI INGRID - surveillance radar 
It is composed of two compact and lightweight units: Antenna and RTX Unit rotating at 60 rpm and Extractor Tracker Unit.
The radar sensor works at Ka band, featuring frequency agility and LPI transmission modes.
Video signal is processed by the dedicated Extractor Tracker Unit to carry on raw video mapping and automatic target position tracking;
An enhanced solution (INGRID) using large span antenna with high resolution and increased detection range is available.
It's also used as Gap filler in A-SMGCS field.
