AN/TPQ-36(V)8 Firefinder Weapon Locating System
The optimum solution for "indirect fire" weapons requirements
Built on a solid foundation of Firefinder experience and success, in use in over 28 countries.
Mobile ground-based radar provides automatic, fast and accurate locations of artillery, mortars and rocket launchers. Handles simultaneous fire at multiple locations, detecting and reporting positions on the first round. Firefinder (V)8 extends system performance, improves operator survivability and lowers life cycle cost. Greater processing power and the addition of a low noise amplifier to the radar antenna improves detection range (by up to 50%) and performance accuracy against certain threats.
