Accipiter Radar

History
Accipiter Radar, a North American company, sells, operates and supports affordable radar systems and wide-area radar networks for homeland security, bird strike prevention, natural resource management and defense applications globally. These high performance systems are designed and developed in-house and include sensors coupled with specialized target information systems that provide accurate situational awareness for professionals who keep us safe. Accipiter's commercial approach to delivering its patented M^3TM multi-radar, multi-mission, multi-user solutions represents a paradigm shift in radar design that is necessary for addressing surveillance problems in the 21st century.

They are dedicated to being innovators, leaders and educators in the field of radar engineering with headquarters in Niagara, Ontario and Orchard Park, New York.

Beginning in 1994, a group of talented radar engineers and scientists left Raytheon and Sicom Systems Ltd. was born. Sicom began developing the Accipiter line of radar surveillance products and securing contracts with government agencies and multi-national corporations. Accipiter Radar was spun out of Sicom in 2006 with the focused mandate of providing wide-area situational awareness solutions especially effective with small, uncooperative targets of interest in applications such as homeland security, aviation safety, natural resource management, and defense.

So Why Niagara?
It's as simple as Dr. Tim Nohara, president of Accipiter Radar says: "We government support when it came to rezoning our new facility here and that was extremely helpful. You can't beat the tremendous balance between lifestyle and commerce in Niagara. I've never had to sit in traffic. When we relocated to the Niagara region, my family was finally at home."

As a global company, Accipiter interacts with clients and prospects all over the world. Dr. Nohara adds: "It seems the sky's the limit regarding world market access. And the cost of doing business here is much lower."
