LIGHTWEIGHT COUNTER MORTAR RADAR (LCMR)
Abstract
The AN/TPQ-50 (formerly known as AN/TPQ-48(V)3) Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar (LCMR) is a digitally connected, day/night mortar, cannon, and rocket locating system. It is used to detect, locate, and report enemy indirect firing systems and will also provide observed fires from friendly units. AN/TPQ-50 will also be deployed as part of a System of Systems for Counter-Rockets, Artillery, and Mortars (C-RAM). It will provide data to the Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAADC2) node to provide a sense and warn force protection capability for fixed and semi-fixed sites. It will provide 360 degrees of azimuth coverage and cover a range of 500 meters to 10 kilometers. The AN/TPQ-50 will provide twice the detection range and twice the targeting accuracy of the existing AN/TPQ-48(V)2 Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) currently fielded in support of Operation New Dawn(OND) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). FY12 funds support the development effort and prototype refurbishment of AN/TPQ-50 Program of Record (POR); development testing; and Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E).
