# General Radar Corp.

> General Radar Corp. is a Menlo Park deep-tech company building high-resolution, software-defined phased-array (AESA) radar systems for aerospace, defense, wind energy, autonomy, and weather markets. Founded in 2016 by former NASA/JPL engineer Dmitry Turbiner, the company pairs a GaN AESA front-end with digital beam-forming and GPU supercomputing to deliver radars it says are dramatically higher resolution and roughly 20x cheaper than legacy aerospace radar - largely from commercial off-the-shelf parts. It raised a $22M Series A in 2022, bringing total funding to roughly $47.5M.

- **Founded:** 2016
- **Headquarters:** Menlo Park, California, United States
- **Founders:** Dmitry Turbiner (Founder & CEO)
- **Team size:** ~14 employees
- **Products:** GenRad GFC AESA Radar, Mark-IV mmW Imaging Radar, Radar Upgrades
- **Notable:** Developed four generations of radar and one lidar system, Claims to have cost-reduced an aerospace-grade radar by ~20x, Built high-resolution radar largely from 100% commercial off-the-shelf components

## Products & services

- **GenRad GFC AESA Radar** — A C-band high-resolution, multi-mission radar with a GaN AESA front-end, digital beam-forming, and a supercomputing backend. Fixed (non-rotating) antenna, scalable and networkable for long-range surveillance.
- **Mark-IV mmW Imaging Radar** — A 76-81GHz high-resolution 3D imaging radar with two analog mmW AESA beamformers producing a ~1x1-degree electronically-steered pencil beam (down to ~6cm range resolution). Backend has 32 baseband channels with digital pulse-compression correlators and lidar-like point-cloud output for autonomous vehicles, counter-drone, airfield FOD detection, and wind profiling.
- **Radar Upgrades** — A signal-processing backend that retrofits existing radar systems with digital beam-forming and advanced algorithms to boost resolution and capability without replacing the whole system.

## Achievements

- Developed four generations of radar and one lidar system
- Claims to have cost-reduced an aerospace-grade radar by ~20x
- Built high-resolution radar largely from 100% commercial off-the-shelf components
- Raised $22M Series A in 2022 (total funding ~$47.5M)
- Assembled an advisory board including retired Admiral Timothy J. Keating (former Commander INDO-PACOM and NORAD/NORTHCOM)

## Latest updates

- **2022-06** — Closed a $22M Series A led by Octave Ventures, with Michael Kim joining the board; funds earmarked to accelerate growth of the dual-use radar platform.
