3 1. INTRODUCTION The MFTR-2100/45 Multi Frequency Trajectory Radar system is based on a MFDR-2100 X-band continuous wave Multiple Frequency Doppler Radar, mounted on the ultra high performance AP- 2100/45 Antenna Pedestal. The MFTR-2100/45 system is the second generation of the MFTR-2100/46 system, now with quadratic 1 x 1 deg antenna. The Ultra High performance of the new pedestal is achieved by using very high accuracy components together with full temperature control in the system, the use of sunshields and with extensive and automated calibration techniques. The system measures and computes directly in real-time for Multiple Objects: Slant range Azimuth and Elevation angles 3-D trajectory Radial velocity All measurements are Time synchronized to IRIG-B or GPS The range, angles and velocity measurements are based entirely on spectrum analysis and digital signal processing. This enables the system to measure on all types of objects: Rocket launches Missiles Re-entry vehicles Aircraft, drones and towed-targets Projectiles of all types and calibres Base bleed and rocket assisted projectiles APFSDS and tracer projectiles Intercepts - Kill assessments The system is based on X-band frequency in order to ensure: High accuracy Compact system High mobility High range performance Operation in all weather conditions Insensitivity to ionized gases and rocket exhaust plumes The Multiple Frequency CW/FM-CW ranging technique gives the following advantages: Optimum MTI (Motion Target Indicator) based on 100% duty cycle on CW Doppler Optimal range accuracy Optimal velocity accuracy Optimal angle accuracy Continuous measurement - 100% duty cycle High range resolution in FM-CW mode (High bandwidth) No minimum object size Low elevation measurement Selectable Rx beam-width from 16 x 16 to 1 x 1 with automatic or manual switching. Ideal for RCS measurement The MFTR-2100/45 is based on the Weibel Azimuth & Elevation Tracking Radar System technique in operation for more than 25 years all over the world. The radar antenna is based on the proven Weibel MSL antenna family, the AP-2100/45 is a further development of the previous AP-2100/46 pedestal again based on the TC-700i Tracking Controller. The Real Time Processor RTP-2100 used in the MFTR-2100/45 is identical to the processor used in the previous MFTR-2100 system, and is a further development based on the previous W-1000/W-2100/RP-2100 processor family. 3/22

4 The MFTR-2100/45 is based on state of the art radar technologies. Transmitting and receiving antennas are micro strip array antennas and all components in the system are entirely solid state. A very rugged mechanical system design and modern electronic design ensures high reliability and resistance to weather, vibrations, and blast. AP-2100/45 improvements compared to AP-2100/46: New elevation gear with less wobble New elevation encoder with higher accuracy New Azimuth turntable bearing with less wobble New azimuth encoder with higher accuracy New alignment and calibration sensors Temperature control of pedestal structure using full sun shielding and controlled airflow New calibration routines AP-2100/45 with Sun Shields and forced airflow to stabilize temperature.

All microwave components including micro-controllers and DC-DC converters are located in the antennas. The microwave oscillator OM-2136D or OM-2148D generates the two frequencies F1 and F2. These two frequencies are amplified and transmitted in the transmitter antenna. The 45dB transmitting antenna consists of 64 micro-strip antennas each with an 8 x8 opening angle. The advanced Weibel Power Pack microwave transmit unit (HPA) is used in the transmitter with built in power supply and processor for optimum performance, redundancy, control, diagnostics and maintainability. The Power Pack design eliminates the need for re-calibration of the transmitter if it ever needs repair. The Power Pack design in the transmitter also includes power detectors with feedback in order to operate with constant output power for RCS measurements. 6/22

7 The receiver receives the reflected signals (F1 and F2) and generates 4 I/Q channels corresponding to F1 and 4 IQ channels corresponding to F2 totally 16 channels. The 45 db receiving antenna consists of 256 micro-strip antennas each with a 16 x16 opening angle. This enables the received to change from a wide 16x16 opening angle during acquisition to a narrow 1x1 opening angle when acquired. The advanced Weibel Receiver Pack microwave units are used in the receiver, with integrated filtered low noise amplifiers (FLNA), built in LNA control and diagnostics for optimum performance, redundancy and control. This design also eliminates the need for re-calibration of the full receiver if it ever needs repair. The use of a filter low noise amplifier (FLNA) design in connection with the micro-strip antennas in the receiver, is giving a noise figure of less than 3 db. The filtering of high power pulsed radars in the front end prevents the Doppler signal from being distorted in the input LNA. Also the receiver include fully controlled diagnose of LNA s, base band amplifiers, and the Oscillator Module. Also all voltages, currents, and temperatures are sensed by the antenna micro-controllers. Both transmitter and receiver are protected with a fiberglass radome for optimum weather protection; the advanced sandwich structure of the radome ensures minimum signal reduction due to rain, snow, etc on the radar surface. All antenna functions are controlled automatically by the RTP or manually by the operator from the Operator Console including the variable opening angle. OM-2136D / OM-2148D: The Oscillator Module generates two transmitting frequencies F1 and F2. The two frequencies are transmitted simultaneously. F1 is pure CW and is used for angle tracking and accurate unambiguous Doppler measurement. F2 operates either in jittering CW or FM-CW (Frequency-Modulated CW). The stepping CW is used to measure the range very accurately using the MF- CW (Multi- Frequency CW) principle. The FM-CW is used to measure and angle track targets with low radial velocity (less than 5-20 m/s depending on external conditions) or to measure on multiple targets with little radial velocity separation. The status and the control of the OM is displayed and controlled from the Operator Console. AP-2100/45: The AP-2100/45 Antenna Pedestal is a very ruggedized mount and accurate positioner for the MFDR-2100 antenna. The AP-2100 has built-in extremely accurate tilt sensors enabling the system to compensate for the uncertainty in the mechanical leveling. The elevation axis has two independent positioning systems, one for the transmitting antenna and the other for the receiving antenna. The integrated Continuous Azimuth base includes a highly accurate turn table bearing with dual high precision AC servo motor system for redundancy and counter torque. A slip-ring/rotary joint system incorporating power to the AP- 2100/MFDR-2100, control lines to AP-2100 / MFDR-2100 / OM-2100, optical high speed fiber for Digital Doppler data and control/status, 3 video coax, video control, IRIG-B, Ethernet and spare signal lines. Above the Azimuth rotating point, two PS-5000 transmit power supplies with 48 VDC nominal output to MFDR-2100 antenna are located. The power supplies are supplied by 3-phase AC input. All servo and sensor systems are controlled from the AP-2100 main processor. The main processor handles all tasks including real-time data exchange with 7/22

8 RTP-2100 and other instrumentation, azimuth and elevation servo-algorithms, motor control and reads all sensors such as encoders, tilt, temperatures, voltages, currents, motor status, etc. CU-2100/45: Water based cooling unit for MFDR-2100/45 antenna and AP-2100/45 pedestal. Control Console: Rack where RTP-2100, IC-2100, RTDS-2100 and optional VC-2100 are located, typical near antenna, and with operator console. Standard cables are 76 meters. Remote Console: Remote location where control software can be installed in additional IC-2100 in order to remotely control the full system. Connected to Control Console via Ethernet network. Range Network: Customer network, where the radar data output wants to be used. Can also include Master/Slave data that can be used to guide the MFTR system towards a target.. From the Range Network, control of the radar is also possible. Master/slave data interface can be either Ethernet or RS-232 / RS-422. RTP-2100: The Real Time Processor is the main processor of the MFTR and interfaces to Antenna, Oscillator Module, AP-2100, Instrumentation Controller, Real Time Data Storage, Real Time Display, Video Tracker, Motion Compensation System, real time pointing of other systems or real time data from other systems for pointing of the AP The RTP receives the digitized Doppler signals from the AP-2100 via the high speed optical interface. The RTP incorporates advanced multi-object tracking software (MOT). The MOT calculates the velocity, range, and angles for multiple objects in the radar beam in real-time. The objects are grouped into one main track and secondary tracks. The RTP receives the azimuth and elevation encoder position from AP-2100 and uses this together with the azimuth and elevation error angles from the main track or from the optional VT-2100 to calculate angle of sight to the main object. From this, the RTP generates the desired mount position and transmits it to the AP The AP-2100 includes all software and hardware to control the movement of the mount very accurately. The RTP transmits in real-time the measured velocity, range, and angles for each track (object) to the Instrumentation Controller. The Instrumentation Controller displays the main and secondary tracks in real-time. Switching between objects is either automatically performed by the RTP or commanded by the operator. IC-2100: The Instrumentation Controller is based on a 19" rack mounted High Performance PC with color monitor and command panel. The IC-2100 is running Win7, and the Display, Control, Diagnostic and Processing Software WinTrack The IC is equipped with high speed Ethernet for communication to the RTP and to the RTDS The Instrumentation Controller controls the RTP-2100 both during set-up and in real-time. 8/22

9 WinTrack 2009: The Control, Diagnostic and Processing Software is the main operator interface both during set-up, mission, and post-processing.

The RTDS is running Win7. The RTDS receives the digitized Doppler data from the RTP in real-time using a dedicated 1 Gbit Ethernet interface and stores the data in real time on the hard drives, and thereby gives nearly unlimited storage capacity (based on the size of the disk). The RTDS-2100 is controlled from the IC-2100 via Ethernet. MFTR-2100/46 sea based operation 9/22

20 2.3 Data output MFTR-2100/45 Specification The system uses FFT to extract the Velocity, Range, Azimuth and Elevation data versus Time for multiple objects from the 8 IQ Doppler signals. This is done in real-time in the RTP or as a post process in the RTP/WinTrack. In most cases, the complete trajectory analysis can be performed directly on the on-line results and is available immediately after the complete signal has been collected. The system stores the digitized Doppler signals and the on-line results in the RTP or RTDS in real-time enabling the system to perform measurements lasting for hours and keeping all information for off-line processing. The system outputs are calculated based on the time, velocity, range, and angular positions results from either the on-line analysis or from the post process the results can be presented in multiple coordinate systems and include among others: Graphical Output to Instrumentation Controller and hardcopy (Examples):! VTI, ETI, ATI and RTI! Velocity versus time and distance (radial, 3D, and tangential velocity) for multiple objects! Acceleration versus time and distance (radial, 3D, and tangential acceleration)! Distance versus time! Vertical angle of sight versus time and horizontal angle of sight versus time! Vertical trajectory, horizontal trajectory and offset trajectory!

21 3. TRACKING MODES The system tracks the target both in azimuth and elevation. The system can operate in 6 different modes independently in azimuth and elevation. In all modes the actual trajectory can be computed and displayed for all objects moving in the radar beam.! Active real time tracking on moving target. In this mode the radar follows the moving target based on real time closed loop tracking using spectrum analysis and digital signal processing. If the active real-time track is lost, the system automatically extrapolates the trajectory based on the data up to that point. The radar will follow the estimated trajectory until valid measuring points are collected again and the system returns to the active mode.! Preprogrammed illumination operation. The antenna moves in accordance with predetermined trajectory data, but measures the radial velocity and angles to the target in both azimuth & elevation as long as the target follows the predetermined trajectory. The predefined trajectory can be updated in real-time based on the actual measurement either automatic or manually. It is, at any time, possible to command the system into the active real time tracking mode and back to the preprogrammed mode if desired.! Fixed head illumination operation. The antenna does not move, but measures the radial velocity and azimuth & elevation angles to the target. It is, at any time, possible to command the system into the active real time tracking mode.! Manually tracking illumination operation. The user can, while reading the on-line results from the tracking controller, manually move the antenna, either with the cursor keys or with an optional joy-stick. It is, at any time, possible to command the system into the active real time tracking mode.! Cued mode operation. In this mode the system receives its elevation and azimuth angles from another device, e.g, another Tracking radard working as master device. Also GPS position data or other sensor data outputs can be used as master input data to the radar. It is, at any time, possible to command the system into the active real time tracking mode and back to either fixed illumination or slaved mode.! Video Track operation (with optional VT-2100). In this mode the system determines its elevation and azimuth pointing based on the tracking error information from the optional VT-2100 Video Tracker, this mode is especially useful when acquiring free flying targets i.e. airplanes.! Scanning mode. In this mode the system scans a predefined sector, looking for targets. This mode is useful when acquiring free flying targets e.g. airplanes or drones. 3.1 Scripting / State Machine The RTP includes scripting capabilities in order to pre-program the radar behaviour based on time. The State Machine can be used to pre-program the radar behaviour based on events e.g. switch to Radar Track if valid data for longer than 0.5 sec or If a new target is seen with lower velocity, switch tracking to this target automatically Using the scripting and State Machine, is it possible to adjust the behaviour to the specific test automatically without user interference. However the operator can at any time take the full control of the radar if needed! 21/22
