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, track, and report enemy indirect firing systems and provides the ability to observe friendly fire units. The AN/TPQ-50 is capable of being deployed in two configurations, standalone or vehicle mounted. It can be set up and operational in 20 minutes and disassembled in 10 minutes. AN/TPQ-50 will be deployed as part of a System of Systems for the Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM) construct or Rocket Artillery Mortar (RAM) Warn. It provides data to the Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAADC2) node for the sense and warn force protection capability at fixed and semi-fixed sites. It provides 360 degrees of azimuth coverage and covers a range of 500 meters to 10 kilometers. AN/TPQ-50 Quick Reaction Capability systems are currently fielded and deployed to Operation Enduring Freedom. This program has no FY14 Base or Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) request.
