Array Labs creates powerful, modular, and flexible radar systems designed for mass production. The company's core technology is Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), but they are not making a classic single SAR satellite, but a cluster of satellites working together (multistatic SAR). Its distributed radar clusters achieve higher power, greater sensitivity, and greater flexibility compared to traditional radar systems, supporting native 3D imaging and real-time MTI. The company also provides continuously refreshed, global elevation datasets with up to 10 centimeter resolution. Array Labs collaborates with Mitsubishi Electric to develop and bring to market satellite-based maritime and aircraft tracking services for defense and security customers in the Asia Pacific Region
