FIREFINDER
Abstract
This Program funds design, development and test of primary target acquisition and counterfire radars to automatically detect, locate and classify hostile indirect fire weapons (mortars, artillery, and rockets). This PE directly supports the prioritization, tracking, and locating of targets, and dissemination of that information for simultaneous attack of multiple threats. It provides the Warfighter with continuous and responsive counterfire target acquisition systems for all types and phases of military operations. Project L86, Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar, Version AN/TPQ-50 provides 360 degree coverage and is used to detect, locate and report hostile locations of enemy indirect firing systems. Project L88, AN/TPQ-53 (formerly known as Enhanced AN/TPQ-36), is a highly mobile radar system that will leverage the latest in technology design to accelerate technology infusion and increase range while improving False Alarm Rate, reducing obsolescence and increasing reliability. The AN/TPQ-53 will provide 90 degree coverage and extended range, with an incremental development to increase detection capability to 360 degrees. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 funds of $37.492 million will support follow-on testing and continue development and testing of Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) for Low Quadrant Elevation efforts. These funds will also initiate development and testing for Increased Range and Accuracy, Electronic Protection and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WIMAX), and Networking and Radar Interoperability to include performing technical assessments, concept studies, cost reduction, risk reduction and required documentation.
