Northern Radar is an all Canadian company established in 1989......making 2019 our 30th anniversary!
Northern Radar specializes in systems, subsystems, antennas, as well as installation and maintenance for High Frequency Surface Wave Radar (HFSWR). Our primary areas are antenna design and manufacturing, and ocean remote sensing, compact HFSWR systems, on-site installation and maintenance. Northern is a participant in a new Canadian consortium which is providing HFSWR systems for long range offshore surveillance of the Exclusinve Economic Zone (EEZ). These systems are a mature design and have proven capabilities to detect and track surface targets to over 200 nautical miles.
We are located in the city of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Newfoundland is an island surrounded by the harsh North Atlantic Ocean, where extremes of high winds (gale to hurricane force) and high sea states (7-12 Beaufort scale) are a regular occurrance. Seasonally, the waters around Newfoundland are infested with icebergs and sea-ice carried from the far north with the cold Labrador current. The extreme salty conditions in coastal locations, subject products to significant corrosion. Our location on the most eastern coast of Canada is ideal for proving the durability and survivability of our systems and products.
Northern Radar has its own in-house R&D capabilities, design team and manufacturing for all our products.
