DARPA FORESTER
The DARPA FORESTER is a technology development program sponsored jointly by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the U.S. Army intended to produce an advanced airborne UHF radar system that can track personnel and vehicles on the ground when they are hidden by foliage. ''FORESTER'' is an acronym for ''FO''PEN Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Tracking and Engagement Radar (''FOPEN'' itself is an acronym for FOliage PENetration).〔(DARPA Fact Sheet )〕
==Description==
The FORESTER is a GMTI radar system with a resolution of 6 meters〔(Robinson, Clarence Jr, "Radar Counters Camouflage", ''Signal Online'' Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association )〕 that is mounted inside a long pod and designed to be carried under an A160 Hummingbird helicopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).〔(DAPRA FORESTER fact sheet, page 2 )〕 The system is able to detect vehicles and walking soldiers underneath tree cover from a distance of , giving battle planners the ability to detect potential ambushes. The pod is designed to swivel from its stowed in-line position 90 degrees to its deployed position. From a helicopter UAV hovering at , FORESTER can cover a area.〔(Norris, Guy, "Boeing Rotary UAV Aims To Set Records", ''Aviation Week & Space Technology'', March 30, 2008, accessed August 29, 2008 )〕
According to FORESTER program manager Lyndall Beamer, "Employing the sensor system on the DARPA/U.S. Army A160 Hummingbird unmanned aerial vehicle () helicopter or other suitable platform will provide a robust, wide-area, all-weather, standoff capability."〔
Cost is anticipated to run US$2.5 million per unit, with a production goal of US$1 million per unit in quantities of 50 or more.〔
