Question 7: Purpose of Experiment

This application is being made to support the testing and evaluation of a new radar. These tests will be
conducted to test and verify new radar processing software and algorithms, develop equipment designs,
conduct production tests and equipment calibration, and demonstrate products to customers. Tests will be
conducted on the roof of ELTA's facility located at 8955 Henkels Lane, Annapolis Junction, MD in Howard
County. This building is a single-story structure located in a mixed-use business development. The antenna,
transmitter, and receiver are mounted on the antenna support structure. Other locations will be used for
demonstration purposes. These locations are Ft Huachuca, AZ; Camp Dawson, WV; Camp Shelby, MS. At all
the above locations the antenna will be mounted on a tripod of less than 1.5 m in height.

It is essential that these tests be performed outside of a laboratory or anechoic chamber to create the necessary
radar environment that includes land and foliage clutter, ground moving vehicles, birds, fixed and rotary wing
aircraft, second time around radar targets and clutter, and other atmospheric disturbances that affect radar
performance.

The MARS-K system is a pulsed Doppler radar for the detection of personnel and vehicle movement on the
ground. The system will transmit linear FM pulses in either the 9.8 GHz to 9.975 GHz band or the 10.55 GHz
to 10.60 GHz band into a planar array antenna.
