1. INTRODUCTION The MFTR-2100 Multi Frequency Trajectory Radar system is based on a MFDR-2100 X-band continuous wave Multiple Frequency Doppler Radar, mounted on the high performance AP-2100 Antenna Pedestal.

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; other time references are available (e.g. 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 Doppler radar 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

Ideal for RCS measurement

The MFTR-2100 is based on the Weibel Azimuth & Elevation Tracking Radar System in operation for more than 20 years all over the world. The radar antenna is based on the well know Weibel MSL antenna family, the AP-2100 Antenna Pedestal is based on the TC-700i Tracking Controller and the RTP-2100 is based on the W-1000/W-2100/RP-2100 family.

The MFTR-2100 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 rugged mechanical system design and modern electronic design ensures high reliability and resistance to weather, vibrations, and blast.

The MFDR antennas have a variable beam width from 10° x 10° to e.g. 0.5° x 0.5° with automatic or manual switching. The smallest beam is dependent on the actual antenna.


4/22

The next generation antennas will incorporate higher LFM bandwidth (100, 200 and 500 MHz) for radar imaging, and separation of closely spaced objects. This high LFM (Linear Frequency Modulation) bandwidth together with unambiguous Doppler makes the MFTR-2100 series even more unique.

The next generation antenna will also incorporate electronic beam steering using both beam time slicing and beam slicing and in this way cover a larger special area for multi object tracking and debris characterisation than the pencil beam covers today (down to 0.5° x 0.5°). Possible beam coverage will at present be10° x 10°, 20° x 20° and 40° x 40°.

The software package for the system is constantly developed and improved to meet new requirements from our customers and to incorporate new features.

2.1.1 Main System parts

MFDR-2100/40 & 43: The 40 & 43 dB antenna consists of one transmitter module and one receiver

module. All microwave components including micro-controllers and DC-DC converters are located in the antenna.

The transmitter transmits the two frequencies F1 and F2 simultaneously.

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.

The 43 dB transmitting and receiving antenna consists of 64 (32 for the 40 dB) micro-strip antennas each with a 10°x10° 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.

A filter low noise amplifier (LNA) is connected to each micro-strip antenna in the receiver giving a noise figure of less than 3 dB. The filtering of high power pulsed


7/22

radars in the front end prevents the Doppler signal from being distorted in the input LNA.

Both transmitter and receiver include micro-controllers to control and diagnose the HPA’s, LNA’s, base band amplifiers, and the Oscillator Module. The micro-controller also reads all voltages, currents, and temperatures.

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-2124D & OM-2136D: The Oscillator Module (OM)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 jittering 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.

In addition to the standard low noise version (OM-2124D), the Oscillator Module is also available in an Ultra Low Noise version (OM-2136D) for low elevation and long range applications.

AP-2100/40: The AP-2100/40 Antenna Pedestal (AP) is a very ruggedized mount and accurate positioner for the MFDR-2100/40 and MFDR-2100/43 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 azimuth axis has one positioning system. The azimuth positioning system comes in two versions:

! Non Continuous: Based on a very accurate gear/motor system.

! Continuous, CA-2100 option: Based on a large turntable bearing with slip-ring/rotary joint.

All positioning systems are controlled from the AP-2100 main processor. The main processor handles all tasks including real-time data exchange with 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.

PS-5000: The PS-5000 is a 5 KWatt power supply with 48 VDC nominal output to MFDR-2100 antenna and either with 3~N 200 VAC or 3~N 400 VAC input.

RTP-2100: The Real Time Processor (RTP) is the center 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-2100.


8/22

The RTP receives the digitized Doppler signals from the AP-2100 via the high speed optical interface.

The RTP is controlled from the Instrumentation Controller both during set-up and in real-time measurement and acquisition.

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-2100. 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 (IC)is based on a 19" rack mounted High Performance PC with color monitor and command panel. The IC-2100 is running WinXP/Vista and the Display, Control, Diagnostic and Processing Software - WinTrack. The IC is equipped with high speed Ethernet for communication to the RTP.

WinTrack: The Control, Diagnostic and Processing Software is the main operator interface both during set-up, mission, and post-processing. The software accomplishes the following main tasks:

Mission planning

RTP control, set-up, and diagnostics

AP control, set-up, and diagnostics

MFDR Antenna control, set-up, and diagnostics

OM control set-up, and diagnostics

User selectable real time display of multiple tracks (objects) - can include:

- A-scope, DTI, Velocity history, Range history, Elevation history, Azimuth history, Ground track, Altitude track, Bore sight, Radar plot, Numerical, System, and Track status

Real-time track selection and real-time control of IC, RTP, AP, MFDR, and OM

2.3 Data output

The system uses FFT to extract the Time, Velocity, Range, and Azimuth & Elevation angles 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 not loose any 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 ! Drag coefficient (CD) versus time and Mach number ! Target motion analysis (spin) ! Spin versus time and distance ! Doppler signal versus time, for each channel ! User specified graphics Numerical Output to Instrumentation Controller, file or hardcopy: ! Velocity & Range results !

3. TRACKING MODES

The system tracks the target both in azimuth and elevation. The system can operate in 7 different modes independently in both 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 servo using spectrum analysis and digital signal processing. If the active real-time track is lost, the system automatically estimates 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 a user specified protocol can be used as master input data. 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. In this mode the system determines its elevation and azimuth 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.
