Compact Multi-Mission AESA Artillery Radar
Ground forces must have the capability to see far beyond the front line and spot enemy activity. They must find, track and designate targets, and then adjust long-range fire for maximal effect. When under indirect fire, they must be able to detect the source, assess its intended target, and direct a response such as counter battery fire. They must also be able to monitor the airspace over the ground arena and warn of hostile aircraft, helicopters and drones that threatens friendly forces.
FTS’s C-MMR (ELM-2311) fulfils all of these tasks. It features an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar antenna, power and cooling unit, operator consoles, and communication equipment all mounted on a single high mobility vehicle for quick response and rapid deployment with maneuvering forces.
Operating in C-Band, this artillery radar detects, tracks, and designates targets within its hemispheric view. Interfacing directly to command centers and effectors, it rapidly closes sensor-to-shooter loops to engage targets in its line of sight, even beyond 100 km.
As a counter rocket, mortar and artillery radar (C-RAM) it designates the points of impact and origin of artillery rockets, shells, and mortars fired by enemy or friendly forces, and provides essential early warning, targeting, and fire direction for artillery counterfire. Its ability to provide constant airspace coverage at low and medium altitudes over the battlespace also makes it an important asset for air and counter UAS defense.
The system is operational and combat proven with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and is constantly undergoing enhancements to meet the latest operational challenges.
