Export Compliance Notice

Because this product has long-range target detection, low-altitude surveillance, and multi-target tracking capabilities, it is subject to China’s dual-use item export control requirements. For products subject to control code 6A108.a (radar equipment), we will complete the required compliance review and any necessary export licensing procedures in accordance with the law before export.

The buyer must cooperate by providing end-user, end-use, non-re-export/non-transfer undertakings, and other necessary documentation. We supply only to lawful, transparent end users that have passed compliance review.

The CR-FX20 is an X-band long-range FMCW radar that detects 0.01m² RCS drones at ranges beyond 10km within a 20km instrumented range. Its low-power continuous-wave emission improves safety for nearby personnel and equipment while resisting interception. The 360° turntable delivers all-round electronic scanning with configurable coverage, and combined search-and-track operation maintains continuous situational awareness for wide-area low-altitude security and critical-site protection.

Drone detection (RCS 0.01m²) ≥10km
Frequency Band X · 9.2~9.8 GHz
Modulation Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW)
Weight ≤66kg (host + turntable)

Key Features

Detection & Coverage

  • Employing DBF technology and a high-performance signal processor, the radar simultaneously detects up to 500 targets within a 360° azimuth and 65° elevation range, effectively handling complex scenarios with large coverage areas and multiple targets;
  • Utilizing a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) system, it avoids the signal-to-noise ratio mutation issues caused by waveform handover in pulse radars, ensuring continuous detection of very small targets (such as the DJI Mini 3) at all elevation angles;
  • Employing sophisticated clutter suppression technology combined with machine learning-based AI algorithms, it learns environmental characteristics in real time, accurately extracts weak target signals while filtering environmental clutter, and maintains a very low false alarm rate in complex backgrounds, enabling effective identification of drones and birds.

Tracking & Recognition

  • Advanced tracking filtering algorithms significantly improve target tracking performance;
  • With exceptionally high sub-clutter visibility, the radar continuously and stably tracks ultra-low-altitude moving targets even in urban building environments.

Safety & Low Interceptability

  • The continuous wave working system keeps transmission power at a low level, effectively enhancing operational safety for nearby equipment and personnel;
  • Compared with pulse radar, the risk of electromagnetic interception is greatly reduced, and the anti-interference and concealment performance is more outstanding.

Deployment & Maintenance

  • The lightweight and compact structural design enables rapid deployment and withdrawal for high-mobility operations;
  • A friendly user interface makes operation simple and easy; at the algorithm level, adaptive processing eliminates the need to set numerous operating parameters and allows quick mastery.
