THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION REQUIRES TWO HEAVY HMMWVs, ONE TO MOUNT THE OCG AND PULL THE ATG AND ONE TO TRANSPORT A GENERATOR AND PULL THE MOUNTED GENERATOR. ADDITIONALLY, A M1038 HMMWV SUPPORT VEHICLE IS REQUIRED TO PULL THE M116A2 TRAILER WITH THE SPECIAL CARGO BED. B. CAPABILITIES: USING PROJECTILE TRACKING, IT DETERMINES A HOSTILE WEAPON'S LOCATION AND CAN PROVIDE PROJECTILE'S IMPACT POINT QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY, ENABLING FRIENDLY WEAPONS TO ADJUST AND ATTACK THE ENEMY EFFECTIVELY. IT CAN DETERMINE ENEMY LOCATION FROM THE SIGNATURE OF A SINGLE ROUND FIRED OR LOCATE MULTIPLE WEAPONS FIRING SIMULTANEOUSLY. IT USES A COMBINATION OF RADAR AND COMPUTER CONTROLLED TECHNIQUES TO DETECT, VERIFY, AND TRACK PROJECTILES IN FLIGHT, EXTRAPOLATE DATA ALLOWING QUICK AND ACCURATE COUNTERFIRE. THE MINIMUM RANGE OF THE AN/TPQ-36(V)7 IS 750 METERS AND THE MAXIMUM RANGE IS 24 KILOMETERS. THE AN/TPQ-36(V)7 CAN BE EMPLACED AND READY FOR OPERATION WITHIN 15 MINUTES AND MARCH ORDERED WITHIN 9 MINUTES. A MODULAR AZIMUTH POSITIONING SYSTEM (MAPS) AUGMENTS THE CAPABILITY FOR SURVEY. C. EMPLOYMENT: THE AN/TPQ-36(V)7 RADAR SET IS HIGHLY MOBILE AND CAN BE DEPLOYED IN FORWARD COMBAT ZONES. D. BASIS OF ISSUE: ONE PER DIRECT SUPPORT BATTALION MORTAR LOCATING RADAR SECTION (HHS OR HHB) IN A SIB, LID, ABN DIV OR AASLT DIV. ONE PER TARGET ACQUISITION BATTERY WLRS IN A HEAVY DIV. ONE PER HEAVY SEPERATE BRIGADE (HSB) DIRECT SUPPORT BATTALION HHB COUNTER MORTAR RADAR SECTION. E. POWER REQUIREMENTS: 10KW, 400KZ, 120/208 VOLTS AC. F. TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS: THE AN/TPQ-36(V)7 IS TRANSPORTABLE BY ROAD, RAIL AND AIR TO INCLUDE THE CAPABILITY TO BE TRANSPORTED IN TWO SORTIES BY C-130 AND LARGER AIRCRAFT, AND HAVE DRIVE ON/OFF CAPABILITY. IT IS EXTERNALLY TRANSPORTABLE BY CH-47 HELICOPTER AND WHEN REMOVED FROM THE ASSIGNED VEHICLES, MISSION ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT CAN BE EXTERNALLY TRANSPORTED BY UH60 HELICOPTER IN THREE LIFTS INCLUDING CREW. G. PERSONNEL/MAINTENANCE IMPACTS: (1) OPERATOR: (A) CREW SIZE/MOS: ONE WO, MOS 131A; ONE E6, MOS 13R30; ONE E5, MOS 13R20; ONE E4, MOS 13R10X5; TWO E3, MOS 13R10, TWO OPERATORS ARE REQUIRED FOR A 12 HOUR SHIFT (MOS 13R). (B) TRAINING REQUIREMENTS: COURSE IS ESTABLISHED AND OPERATING AT USAFAS. (2) MAINTAINERS: (A) UNIT MAINTENANCE: 13RX5, 63B (B) DIRECT SUPPORT MAINTENANCE: 39CX5, 44B, 44E, 63G, and 63W (C) GENERAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE: N/A H. SPECIAL NOTES: THIS SYSTEM IS APPROPRIATE TO BE INCLUDED IN AR 71-13.
