sensor capabilities to potential customers, offices and agencies of the United States Government. All
testing and demonstrations would be conducted at the TCOM, LP Manufacturing and Flight Test Facility
(MFTF) at Elizabeth City, NC. Demonstrations would consist of various test scenarios designed to use the
radar to detect an target and provide a cue signal to the EO/IR camera system for visual identification.

well as other remote locations (Data only). Cease Buzzer Information: Mr. Charles Knauss, TCOM, LP
