The radar turntables are designed and produced within the UK and are used worldwide in challenging land and naval environments.

Chess Dynamics said it designs each radar turntable to meet specific customer needs regarding radar performance requirements and operational settings.

These platforms are developed through a collaborative process with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of radar systems to ensure optimal integration with radar antenna, explained Chess.

The company’s in-house engineering team collaborates with customers to ensure that each product provides precise and stable performance even under the most severe conditions.

Chess Dynamics managing director David Tuddenham said: “Our radar turntables and positioners are often an unnoticed but essential part of radar success.

“With every design, we’re helping radar manufacturers deliver high performance and robust systems that end users can trust and rely on in critical moments. Our success in Q2 this year highlights what Chess has always stood for: engineering excellence, deep domain understanding, and customer collaboration that leads to mission-ready results.”

With more than two decades of experience, Chess Dynamics offers mechanical design, system integration, and environmental hardening services.
