AERPAW Lake Wheeler Road Field Laboratory (LWRFL) site will support a TrueView R20 Radar (non-ITAR) from Fortem Technologies. The TrueView R20 radar is an electronically scanned phased array radar that operates at the 15 GHz band. It uses artificial intelligence techniques at the edge for superior detection, tracking and classification of unmanned aerial vehicles. Initially, the R20 radar will be used in AERPAW to manage multiple drone operations. Possibility of opening TrueView R20 radar for experimentation by external users will be evaluated in the future.
Additional information about the TrueView R20 Radar can be found at Small Radar | Fortem Trueview Radar | Fortem Technologies. Some representative experiments carried out by the AERPAW team during Phase-1 are included under the Experiment Repository section of this User Manual.
