Question 7: Purpose of Experiment - Fulton, MD location

This application is being made to support the testing and evaluation of ELTA radars. 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 11840 West Market Place, Fulton, 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. In addition to the experiments
conducted at the Fulton, MD location, demonstrations will be conducted within Ft Benning,
GA at the McKenna Leyte Heliport. These demonstrations of the EL/M-2180 system will be
conducted for the US Army.

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 EL/M-2180 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 the 10.55 GHz to 10.6
GHz band into a planar array antenna. The horizon scan is electronic and the scan rate is 3 Hz for
starring mode and 0.3-2 seconds for the scanning mode.
