Abstract
The Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funds for the AN/TPQ-50 and AN/TPQ-53 programs fund the design, development and test of primary efforts. The programs directly support the prioritization, tracking and locating of targets, and dissemination of that information for simultaneous attack of multiple threats. They provide the Warfighter with continuous and responsive counterfire target acquisition systems for all types and phases of military operations. Project L86, Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar (LCMR), version AN/TPQ-50 provides 360 degrees of azimuth coverage from ranges of 500 meters to 10 kilometers. Project L88, AN/TPQ-53 is a highly mobile radar system that leverages the latest in technology design to accelerate modernization and increase range while improving false location rate, reducing obsolescence and increasing reliability. The AN/TPQ-53 provides a system with increased range and accuracy throughout a 90 degree search sector (stare mode) as well as 360 degree coverage (rotating) for locating mortar, artillery and rocket firing positions. The AN/TPQ-50 and AN/TPQ-53 radars are currently fielded to multiple Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations to include operational support to Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) and Operation Freedom's Sentinel (OFS).
