Common Radar Architecture (CORA) delivers Software-defined radar waveform generation, radar receiver and digital processing.
TSC leverages open architecture standards (SOSA-alignment), and COTS assemblies and components to enable rapid prototyping and development of new radar systems.
Adaptable Form Factor
CORA comes in a variety of form factors and can quickly be ported to a new form factor if required.
