Abstract
An airborne firefinder radar (AFFR) is suggested for an upgraded version of the forthcoming Global Hawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The AFFR could detect an artillery shell within 1 second of firing and, within a few seconds, determine its trajectory origin location (position of the gun) to a circular error probable (CEP) of less than 50 meters. The AFFR could also be used as a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and for ground-moving target indication (GMTI).
