Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radar (LCMR)

Description
The Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radar (LCMR) detects and locates mortar firing positions automatically by detecting and tracking the mortar shell and then backtracking to the weapon position. The LCMR provides continuous 360° surveillance and mortar location. The LCMR system has been designed to be compatible with airborne operations and can be deployed in a door bundle. The system can be assembled and disassembled quickly by two soldiers. When a mortar is detected, the LCMR sends a warning message indicating a round is incoming. After sufficient data are collected to enable an accurate weapon location, the weapons location is transmitted. 

A variant of LCMR is capable of tracking small aircraft simultaneous with mortar location. In a dedicated air surveillance mode, it will track small aircraft at a significant distance.

U.S. Army's Top Ten Greatest Invention

Lightweight Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar (LSTAR)

Description
The Lightweight Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar (LSTAR) is capable of augmenting the air surveillance picture where other radars may have coverage gaps. Its 360° 3-D electronic scanning provides tracking of low altitude, slow fl ying, and small radar cross-section aircraft.

LSTAR was developed by Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC). Its design is based on the mature and combat proven Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radar (LCMR).

LSTAR is a self-contained, network-enabled radar that is easily transported. Its small size allows fl exible and inconspicuous installation options. The rugged enclosure protects the system from winds up to 150 MPH and hurricane force rain.

Counter RCIED Electronic Warfare System (CREW)

The Army CREW System was developed by Syracuse Research Corporation to address an urgent need providing U.S. forces critical, life-saving protection against a wide range of low and high power RCIED threats.

The system is a field deployable, single-unit system using state-of-the-art technology in order to counter the RCIED threat. The design has been engineered to keep weight, size, and power requirements at a minimum to provide simple operation with optimal tactical performance.

CREW mounts easily into a HMMWV and other military vehicles.

SRC provides a full logistics package to support CREW.
