SRC develops Gryphon R1810 radar to track drones and intercepting rounds for Northrop Grumman’s Raid Hunter air defense system

SRC is developing the Gryphon R1810 radar for Northrop Grumman's Raid Hunter counter-drone system, which pairs target surveillance with gun-based interceptions. The sensor uses eight antenna subarrays instead of the earlier R1540's four, and is intended to detect and track small uncrewed aircraft while following 50 mm guided rounds during an engagement. SRC cites detection ranges of approximately 21.6 kilometres for Group 1 drones and 49.4 kilometres for Group 3 aircraft under specified conditions. SRC said it developed a functional prototype in six months, but the specified detection ranges remain manufacturer design claims rather than independently verified field performance.
