  • Abstract
    Detection of rocket and mortar firings, evaluation (calculation) of launching and impact points, then warning of troops deployed in the likely impact area are now major causes for concern for our forces in a theatre of operation. It is vital to seek out a solution offering a sensor for the protection against mortar in the short run. A radar alerter operating in UHF band could meet this requirement. Small targets (such as 60 mm rounds) could be detected depending on the emission of a low power because of the optimization of the RCS with regards to this frequency band.
