To provide an accurate, mobile, multi-sensor TSPI system to support live testing of high-speed, low-altitude guided munitions.
DESCRIPTION:
The MMTS is a state-of-the-art tracking system that will enhance the Army’s ability to provide accurate live missile and projectile performance data. Currently in the integration and test phase, the MMTS is a mobile system that will track existing and future tactical missiles, rockets and projectiles in order to provide high-fidelity TSPI data. The system will be able to track high-speed (up to 2000m/s) guided munitions, as well as weapons with low/flat trajectories (as low as 2 meters) and low radar cross sections. The project will employ both visible and infrared cameras along with a ranging radar, all integrated on a high-performance tracking pedestal. MMTS will capture and produce highly accurate positional information from launch to impact. Data will be further combined within the system post test to produce an accurate time-correlated flight path. The objective accuracy of the system is to resolve the position of the target missile within 1 meter at a range of 10 kilometers.
