Magos AR-300 Drone Detection Radar

Magos Systems is an Israeli company founded in 2010 by Aviel Kisliansky and Amit Isseroff that develops cost-effective radars for civilian markets, combined with AI video classification to cut nuisance alarms. It reports hundreds of installations in more than 40 countries at sites such as substations, solar farms, data centers, prisons, ports and airports.

The AR-300 is a compact X-band radar that detects drones beyond 300 m (DJI Mavic reference) across a 120 by 120 degree field, with 0.1 m range accuracy and a 7 Hz scan rate. AI separates drones from birds, and the radar automatically slews PTZ cameras onto targets through the MASS AI software. Four radars and one PTZ camera give hemispherical 360-degree coverage. The unit weighs 4.16 kg, draws 35 W at 48 V and works in rain, fog and darkness.

• X-band radar: 120 by 120 degree field of view with 0.1 m range accuracy.
• Drone detection: range beyond 300 m for small quadcopters such as the DJI Mavic.
• AI classification: distinguishes drones from birds and filters non-threats.
• Slew-to-cue: automatically points PTZ cameras at detected targets.
• 360-degree awareness: four radars and one PTZ camera cover a full hemisphere.
• MASS AI and SDK: radar, video and AI control with API/SDK for C4I and PSIM.

• Data centers in Vietnamese industrial parks adding drone detection to radar perimeter security.
• Solar and wind farms monitoring remote sites against intruders and drones at night.
• Factories integrating AR-300 tracks with Hanwha or other ONVIF PTZ cameras already installed.

• Lightweight 4.16 kg radar mounts on existing poles and walls without heavy infrastructure.
• Bird-versus-drone classification reduces false alarms for guards.
• Automatic PTZ slew-to-cue gives operators visual confirmation within seconds.
• One platform covers both ground perimeter intrusion and low-altitude drones.

Data centers, substations and solar farms are moving from fences and cameras to radar-based perimeters that also see drones, driven by stricter physical security rules. Southeast Asia's boom in data centers and renewable plants creates demand for compact, affordable radars that plug into existing CCTV systems.
