Blighter has won a contract to supply its ground surveillance radars and BlighterNexus AI-assisted software to an undisclosed Eastern European Army to protect the country’s national borders.

 

According to Blighter, its B400 series low power (4 Watts), and very low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) radars, will be deployed imminently to fixed locations along the country’s borders and integrated onto army reconnaissance vehicles to provide a flexible mobile surveillance solution. Blighter radars operate 24 hours a day and 365 days per year in all weather, including dense fog, to detect, classify, and track targets including people, vehicles, and near-ground airborne threats at ranges of up to 32 km.

 

The BlighterNexus software will be installed to ensure the radars are seamlessly integrated with the Army’s command-and-control (C2) networks, operator interfaces, and third-party sensors to deliver a unified display or common operating picture (COP) across multiple border regions.

 

James Long, Blighter’s CEO, said: “Following a record order book in 2025, we are delighted to secure another border surveillance contract in Europe adding to our recent successes in the Middle East and Asia Pacific. 

 

“We will continue to target new business at home and abroad through our growing sales force and by forging strategic partnerships. Attendance at international trade shows will continue to be a priority starting with this week’s Security and Policing Exhibition, where we are scheduled to meet with several overseas delegations, including other Central and Eastern European countries, as well as those from the Middle and Far East.”
