DETECT
Insights from Everaxis experts
Radar performance depends on the stability and continuity of the systems that drive its rotation. Any loss of precision or consistency immediately affects tracking quality and target identification. In demanding operational conditions, rotary systems must deliver uninterrupted performance, 24/7. They must also resist shock, vibration and long periods without maintenance.
Everaxis develops rotary solutions designed to secure this continuity. Long operational life, mechanical stability and extended MTBO directly strengthen radar availability and detection capability.
To explore these challenges, David Occhipinti (USA) and Harald Johansson (Sweden) share their insights. They explain the critical role of rotary systems in detection and how Everaxis technologies enhance sensor performance.

Threat evolution
How are current threats (drones, swarms, low-observable platforms) reshaping detection requirements?
David Occhipinti: Besides the obvious facts of size of target there is also the overwhelming number of threats at a short period of time. The system level performance requirements linked to Everaxis rotating equipment would be high acceleration rates and high-definition video signals to name a couple.
Key technological levers for sensor performance
What technological levers can improve sensor accuracy and responsiveness?
David Occhipinti: Use of fiber optics is a key lever for improving accuracy. They are immune to electromagnetic interference and can transmit high‑fidelity signals.
Improving responsiveness relies on several factors. These include optimized embedded algorithms, reduced processing latency, better mechanical stabilization of payloads and improved sensor quality.
Critical role of rotation systems in radar detection
Why is mastery of rotation systems a critical element in the detection chain?
Harald Johansson: The functionality of rotation systems is critical in the detection chain because it directly enables the radar’s ability to maintain continuous, accurate tracking and target identification. If the rotation system fails to meet required performance and reliability standards, radar functionality is reduced or lost, compromising situational awareness and decision-making.
Given that many radar systems are deployed in remote and harsh environments where maintenance is limited or not an option, the rotation system must ensure consistent 24/7 operation. High reliability and precision are therefore essential to avoid downtime and ensure uninterrupted mission capability.
The impact of sensor data fusion on situational awareness
How does sensor data fusion enhance tactical situational awareness?
David Occhipinti: Advanced sensors such as multi spectral can detect threats under terrain coverage which provides more capability to identify threats in advance so clear engagement decisions can be made.
Challenges in integrating advanced sensors on existing platforms
What are the main challenges when integrating advanced sensors onto existing platforms?
David Occhipinti: The main challenge is the mismatch between what an advanced sensor requires and what an existing platform can provide. This gap may concern power supply, data bandwidth, mechanical interfaces or environmental constraints. It can limit sensor performance when the platform cannot meet these requirements.
Everaxis’ added value in the radar detection chain
What specific value does Everaxis bring to the detection chain?
Harald Johansson: Everaxis strengthens the detection chain by enabling reliable, long-term operation of military radar systems through the development and manufacturing of robust rotary solutions.
These solutions are specifically designed to withstand high levels of shock and vibration in harsh operating environments, while meeting strict requirements for continuous 24/7 operation. With extended MTBO, Everaxis solutions significantly increase radar system availability and minimize downtime, where uninterrupted performance is critical.
Meet David Occhipinti at Eurosatory
Meet David Occhipinti on June 16 at the Everaxis stand.
