FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SPRINGVILLE, Utah — March 3, 2026 — IMSAR LLC, a leader in low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) multi-mode airborne radar, today announced a major expansion of its headquarters and manufacturing operations in Springville, Utah. Driven by the rapid adoption of its Democratize Radar philosophy, the company has tripled its dedicated manufacturing space and significantly increased its production staff.

The expansion is a direct response to the growing demand for IMSAR high-fidelity imaging and precision tracking systems across defense, security, and commercial sectors. By scaling its in-house production, IMSAR ensures that tactical platforms ranging from Group 1-5 UAS to manned aircraft can access all-weather radar capabilities without the historical trade-offs in cost or platform endurance.

"At IMSAR, we are democratizing radar by making high-performance sensing more usable, affordable, and available than ever before," said Larry Moore, President of IMSAR. "This expansion is a physical manifestation of that mission. By tripling our manufacturing footprint and significantly growing our production team, we have eliminated capacity trade-offs. We can now maintain our industry-leading availability and aggressive delivery timelines, ensuring our partners receive the rapid innovation and American-made quality they need to maintain a tactical edge."

The larger facility streamlines IMSAR operations: engineering collaboration, rapid prototyping, and high-volume assembly. By keeping the entire lifecycle from design to final testing under one roof in Utah, IMSAR maintains total control over quality while accelerating the speed-to-fleet for radar capabilities at scale.

“Rapid growth and capacity expansion are integral to our overarching strategy to democratize low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP), multimode, airborne radar systems,” added David Trent, COO and Executive Vice President at IMSAR. “Our systems were engineered with volume manufacturing as a core consideration. This facility expansion allows us to fulfill our customers' requirements: high-quality radars delivered with shorter lead times. The expansion and enhancement of our production capacity and throughput represents a significant strategic advantage.”

IMSAR systems, including the NSP-3 and NSP-5, are designed to complement existing FMV, EO/IR, and EW payloads to provide a complete Multi-INT sensor picture. With the capacity to now yield hundreds of radar systems annually, IMSAR is positioned to support global requirements for maritime search, target tracking, and border security on rapid timelines.
