Manchester Advanced Radar Services specialise in the modelling and assessment of the interaction between wind farms and radar systems. However, our expertise covers a wide range of areas and applications in the field of radar and communication systems.
About Our Services
We provide specialist consultancy in radar systems, communication networks, and wind farm impact assessments. Combining the latest modelling techniques with our expertise in the field, we help clients understand potential challenges, assess system performance and ensure regulatory compliance. Explore our services to see how we can support your project’s success.
Radar Early Warning Systems (REWS) Assessments
Our REWS assessment services provide detailed modelling of the radar coverage and analysis of detection gaps caused by turbine returns and turbine radar shadowing. We also help our clients evaluate the impact of rerouted maritime traffic on REWS alarm rates -ensuring operators maintain effective situational awareness and operational safety.
Marine Radar Assessments
We provide performance modelling of marine radar systems in the presence of wind turbines. Our analysis covers turbine returns, sea clutter interactions, multiple reflections, shadowing, and ghost targets. Using advanced modelling, we predict these effects on radar displays and operations. Our services extend to marine navigational radars, VTS radars, and RACON systems.
Radar Performance Modelling
We offer detailed coverage and system performance modelling, evaluating factors like antenna design, system losses, and environmental conditions. Whether for space, maritime, or complex terrain applications, our services can help you optimise your radar performance for reliable detection and tracking for your specific applications and scenarios.

Communication Links Assessments
Wind farms and large structures can disrupt UHF, VHF, and Microwave communication links, impacting broadcasting, aviation, maritime, and offshore operations. We provide detailed interference analysis to assess signal degradation and identify mitigation strategies. Our expertise ensures clear, stable, and reliable communications, supporting critical networks and regulatory compliance. Explore our capabilities today.
Radar Cross Section (RCS) Modelling
Understanding how objects reflect radar signals is essential for detection, tracking, and signature management. We provide detailed RCS modelling for large structures, analysing monostatic and bistatic returns, shadowing effects, and Radar Absorbing Materials (RAM). Our expertise supports defence, aerospace, and maritime applications, delivering critical insights for stealth optimization and radar detection studies. Explore our capabilities today.
Development Consent Support
Planning applications often require specialist radar and communication studies to meet regulatory requirements. We provide expert assessments, stakeholder engagement, and technical presentations, ensuring a clear understanding of project impacts. Our expert witness services further support planning inquiries and hearings. Navigate the consent process with confidence—explore how we can support your project today.
Radar Coverage and Radio Planning
Ensuring optimal radar and communication system coverage is critical for surveillance, safety, and operational effectiveness. We provide detailed coverage assessments, using terrain and urban modelling to identify shadowing effects, weak signal zones, and optimal siting locations. Our expertise helps clients optimize sensor placement and enhance system performance. Explore our solutions today.
