SRCTec, LLC is pleased to announce the delivery of the 400th AN/TPQ-50 LCMR counterfire radar system to the U.S. Army. These radars are deployed around the world, providing continuous 3-D, 360-degree surveillance for early warning and location of rocket, artillery and mortar threats.

The Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radar (LCMR) family of systems provides continuous 3-D, 360-degree surveillance and 3-D rocket, artillery and mortar location using a non-rotating, electronically steered antenna. The radars perform with a track-while-scan capability allowing for the simultaneous detection and tracking of multiple threats fired from separate locations. Once a RAM (Rockets, Artillery, Mortar) threat is detected, the radar sends an early warning message indicating that a round is incoming. After sufficient data is collected to enable an accurate point of origin, the weapon’s location is reported back for a counterfire response from any integrated system.

“Over the past five years, hundreds of employees have worked relentlessly to deliver these life-saving systems to our warfighters,” said Mary Pat Hartnett, president of SRCTec. “We appreciate the great partnership with the Army and look forward to continued support of our soldiers for many years.”
