Research abstract
MARK Resources has developed a practical radar concept to detect high-velocity projectiles at very short range in sufficient time for countermeasures. It will have a very fast reaction time, yet it will be small, lightweight, and inexpensive to develop. It is based on a non-scanning beam that continuously illuminates the entire 360° sector in azimuth, so that it can detect and track all incoming objects simultaneously, regardless of the number that happen to be in the air at any given time. The system will be designed to detect and track small bullets at the range of at least 100 meters. Not only will more countermeasures be available with the timely response, but it will also be able to use the tracks to direct accurate counterfire against the weapon.
