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.

• 3U VPX
• 6U VPX
• 6U VME
