HFL-CM
Features
Mortars and rockets are a significant threat in both military
and civilian scenarios. Forward operating bases (FOBs)
and military convoys, as well as government buildings
and critical infrastructure are all at risk of attacks that can
cause both human casualties and damage to equipment
and structures.
•
•
To counter this threat, IDS has developed HFL-CM, a
solution based on X-band radar technology to provide
warning of parabolic fire, providing critical time to clear
the target zone. In addition to detecting projectiles in flight,
HFL-CM automatically calculates the point of impact and
the point of launch, enabling prompt action to be taken to
immediately counter the threat.
•
As HFL-CM is radar based, it overcomes some of the
limitations of alternative acoustic solutions. It is unaffected
by high background noise or acoustic echoes in urban
environments and can be operated in nighttime and low
visibility conditions such as smoke, dust, rain and fog.
•

•
•
HFL-CM can easily be installed in multiple configurations,
making use of its versatile modular architecture. The
individual radar modules have an azimuth coverage of
either 60° or 120° and up to six of them can be combined
to provide full 360° coverage. HFL-CM’s modularity
allows different mission types to be performed, from
FOB protection to convoy defense, and also reduces
maintenance and logistic requirements.
•
•
•
Fixed installation or vehicle mounted
Detects ballistic projectiles, both subsonic and
supersonic
Measures radial speed, azimuth, elevation and range
Estimates a projectile’s trajectory
Estimates POL (Point of Launch) coordinates, allowing
targeted countermeasures
Estimates POI (Point of Impact) coordinates and
provides an early warning
