Leonardo to Reveal Tactical Multi Mission Radar at Eurosatory
At the upcoming Eurosatory 2022, the international land and air-land Defence and Security exhibition taking place between June 13 to 17 in Paris, Leonardo will present the new TMMR (Tactical Multi Mission Radar), implementing its broad spectrum of technologies for a complete battlefield situational awareness.
The new AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) fully digital C-band radar is a multi-mission system designed to support ground forces in detecting, classifying, and tracking small and fast-moving aerial targets, including mini and micro-unmanned aerial vehicles.
The current geopolitical context and constantly evolving operational scenarios require technologies capable of guaranteeing real-time and integrated situational awareness for airspace and the ground battlefield. The latter are increasingly dotted by challenging and insidious threats, conventional and unconventional, manned and unmanned aerial threats, including tactical UAS, which have demonstrated their potential to alter the real conditions in the sensing, planning and response phase. Interoperability, flexibility, and speed of deployment are key features needed to meet evolving needs effectively.
This is where the TMMR comes in. It is a dual-use system, employable as an anti-drone system (C-UAS) and Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM), as well as a system for short-range air defence and for surveillance and protection of vehicles, borders, territories, and critical infrastructures.
The coverage capacity can be extended up to 360 -degrees. The detection range, which, according to the different targets, ranges from 7 to 25 km, allows for complete control of asymmetrical and multi-domain actions.
The new radar is easily transportable and deployable within improvised and rapidly evolving contexts thanks to its low weight, small size and low consumption technology used; these features offer a perfect match between high performance and ease of use.
TMMR is one of the latest technologies that Leonardo will highlight at Eurosatory, along with its C4I (Command, Control, Communication, Computer and Intelligence) solutions for the digitalisation of the battlefield and for the real-time sharing of tactical information, proving to be a complete system integrator able to offer cutting-edge solutions for the efficient management of operational phases at all decision-making levels.
