ENHANCED AN/TPQ 36

Abstract

The Enhanced AN/TPQ-36 (EQ-36) is a highly mobile radar system designed to classify targets for automatic first-round location of mortar, artillery and rocket enemy fires and to provide observed fires from friendly units. The EQ-36 will provide 90 and 360 degree coverage against the entire threat set. This program will leverage the latest in technology design to provide increased range, reduced crew size, as well as increased reliability, availability, and maintainability. The EQ-36 will provide digital communications and be interoperable with future Battle Command Systems. Increment 2 will provide improved 360 degree capabilities against rocket and artillery with Integrated Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) interoperability and a quick disconnect capability for the 60kw generator. FY12 funds completion of Limited User Test (LUT), and initiation of Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) development for High Clutter Environment and Low Quadrant Elevation (QE) efforts.
