Farran Technology
Farran Technology developed millimetre wave technologies for the detection of hidden weapons and explosives.
Farran was founded in 1977 in Cork, Ireland, by senior research staff from the nearby National MicroElectronics Research Centre – one of Europe’s largest micro-electronics research establishments.
Farran Technology grew to become a primary supplier of leading-edge millimetre-wave subsystems to major systems integrators. The company built a world-class level of IPR, embodied in its own patented designs, in its exclusive access to patented products and in the know-how of its long serving technical staff.
Following the acquisition by Smiths, Smiths Detection took on the development of mm-wave based imaging systems and the advanced Tadar portal.
The Farran components business serving the broadband wireless, radar, defence and satellite applications was moved onto the Smiths Interconnect division
