The U.S. Army has announced that the second Long Range Radar-Enhanced (LRR-E), the productionized version of the LRR prototype, was successfully delivered to the Project Director Sensors-Aerial Intelligence (PD SAI) Program Manager Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (PM MARSS) on Dec. 28.
According to a press release from Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors, the LRR-E is capable of detecting moving targets using two types of Moving Target Indications (MTIs). Ground Moving Target Indications (GMTIs) to scan for larger types of targets, such as vehicles, and Dismount Moving Target Indications (DMTI) to focus on smaller targets, like people.
“While scanning an area, the operator will see dots overlaid on a map that registers the target’s location,” said Bryan Farley, LRR Lead for PM MARSS. “Using Radar Cross Section (RCS) indication, the operator can determine how big a target might be, how reflective it might be, and how fast it may be going.”
