Fredwal inc. Will design and fabricate two lightweight foliage penetration battlefield surveillance devices (folpen-bsd) for the united states marine corps. The solid state, battery operated radar will have the ability to detect a single-man or vehicle moving through 300 meters of light to heavy foliage and 1500 meters in open terrain. The radar will consist of a receiver-transmitter unit, display-control unit, antenna and mast group. The total proposed system weight will be 30 pounds and can be carried, erected, and packaged by one man in twelve minutes. Fredwal inc. Will implement current technology and components under the supervision of the principle investigator to meet the performance specifications. The proposed system will address the US marine corps required operational capability intelligence (roc int) 1.05 of 17 may 1976. Pre-contract activity starting in November 1985 and scheduled for completion at the time of award will examine a preliminary mechanical and electrical design philosophy. Fabrication and testing of two prototype systems and the submission of a final report will complete the program by-November 1986.
