ENHANCED AN/TPQ 36
Abstract
The Enhanced AN/TPQ-36 (EQ-36) Counterfire Target Acquisition Radar System Capability Production Document (CPD) was approved on 29 September 2010. The EQ-36 System is a highly mobile radar set that automatically detects, classifies, tracks, and locates the point of origin of projectiles fired from mortar, artillery, and rocket systems with sufficient accuracy for first round fire for effect. It mitigates close combat radar coverage gaps and will ultimately replace the current AN/TPQ-36 and AN/TPQ-37 Firefinder Radars; fully supporting Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) and Fires Brigades operations. The EQ-36 System will interoperate with future Battle Command Systems (BCSs) to provide the maneuver commander increased counterfire radar flexibility. The EQ-36 System will be capable of being deployed as part of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) System of Systems (SoS) to provide a sense and warn capability for fixed and semi-fixed sites. The EQ-36 System will provide 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. FY 2013 funds will initiate development and testing of the Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3I) for High Clutter Environment and Low Quadrant Elevation efforts.
