Description:
The Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radar (LCMR) detects and locates
mortar firing positions automatically by detecting and tracking the
mortar shell and then backtracking to the weapon position. The LCMR
provides continuous 360° surveillance and mortar location. The LCMR
system has been designed to be compatible with airborne operations
and can be deployed in a door bundle. The system can
be assembled and disassembled quickly by two soldiers. When a mortar
is detected, the LCMR sends a warning message indicating a round is
incoming. After sufficient data are collected to enable an accurate
weapon location, the weapons location is transmitted.
A
variant of LCMR is capable of tracking small
aircraft to a range of 18km simultaneous with mortar location. In a
dedicated air surveillance mode, the LCMR will track small aircraft
to 30km.
