Side-by-side
Radar layer — AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR + HAMMR vs Coyote C-UAS effector
Spec comparison for two products on Aviation Souk. Both compete in Counter-UAS & Base Air Defence.
Counter-UAS & Base Air Defence
Radar layer — AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR + HAMMR
by Northrop Grumman
Complementary AESA radar pair — long-range S-band G/ATOR and compact X-band HAMMR — delivering 360-degree, four-dimensional air surveillance from fixed sites to moving vehicles.
Counter-UAS & Base Air Defence
Coyote C-UAS effector
by Raytheon (RTX)
Rail-launched, jet-sustained interceptor that defeats small-to-large UAS threats at ranges up to 15 km — available in kinetic (Block 2) and non-kinetic loitering (Block 3NK) variants.
