Elbit Systems introduces foliage penetration radar
Elbit Systems has introduced a new radar called FPR-10 for the detection and tracking of threats in and beyond foliage, it announced on 10 November.
The radar has been designed for border protection and security of critical infrastructures, airports and seaports, especially in areas where forests and dense plantation can provide highly effective concealment for hostile threats.
FPR-10 offers extremely long-range foliage penetration for border protection and wide-area persistent surveillance. Based on Ground Surveillance Radar (GSR) technology, the system provides extremely high resolution, covers a very wide range in azimuth and elevation and enables target separation, allowing determination of the number of targets in the radar arena.
The system can simultaneously detect and track a variety of targets moving in various motion patterns and provide users with the coordinates and path of targets in a fully-digital display and output, for an enhanced operational picture.
With a Low False Alarm Rate (FAR), the system is easy to integrate and operate (via a pc/laptop), and has no moving parts, as opposed to previous GSR systems.
