Multirole survivable radar-balancing threats and technology

The key features of the multirole survivable radar (MRSR) are discussed. The importance of survivability on the battlefield against antiradiation missiles (ARMs) and other targeting systems is addressed. The benefits of a single vehicle encompassing both the radar and C² I node are examined. The system achieves: superior performance against a low-radar-cross-section target; survivability by using mobility, armor, and crew protection in the NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) environment; multirole adaptability to different mission requirements; growth potential for the future integration of multisensors and command and control; and invulnerability to the ARM. The MRSR is designed to meet the US Army requirement for a sensor tough enough to survive on the modern battlefield
