The next-generation radar features a modular design for easier installation and enhanced tracking of small vessels in complex coastal environments. Heléne Bittmann, Saab’s UAE managing director, highlighted its importance for maritime security, calling it a “highly effective means of monitoring key economic lifelines.” The CCR is expected to enhance coastal surveillance and improve situational awareness for naval and port authorities. Saab’s new system reflects the growing demand for advanced maritime security solutions worldwide.
