The LCMR system, a lightweight counter-mortar radar, also known as AN/TPQ-48, provides continuous 360 degree surveillance and mortar location. It detects and locates mortar firing positions by tracking the mortar shell to the weapon it was fired from. When a mortar is detected, the LCMR system sends a warning message indicating a round is incoming. The LCMR system is also capable of tracking small aircraft simultaneous while indicating mortar location. Or, when operated in a dedicated air surveillance mode, the LCMR system will track small aircraft at a significant distance. The LCMR system is compatible with airborne operations, can be deployed in a door bundle, and assembled/disassembled quickly by two soldiers.

The LCMR system is manufactured by our subsidiary, SRCTec. To learn more SRCTec and the products they manufacture, click here.

The LCMR system was named one of the Army's "Top Ten Greatest Inventions" of 2004.
