About this file
This document specifies the salient characteristics and technical requirements for the EchoDyne EchoShield Radar System procurement, including four radar units, one Rapid Deployment Kit, and a 36-month software support package.
The radar system must utilize Metamaterials Electronically Steerable Array (MESA®) technology operating in the Ku-Band (15.4 to 16.6 GHz) with a 130° azimuth by 90° elevation field of view. Required performance includes tracking accuracy of less than 0.5° in both azimuth and elevation, simultaneous active tracking of more than 40 high-priority targets and more than 1,000 low-priority targets, and detection ranges exceeding 2.7 to 3.0 km for Group 1 UAS, 4.8 to 6.0 km for Group 2 UAS, 8.0 km for dismounted humans, and 11.0 km for tactical vehicles. The radar panel must have a maximum footprint of 42.5 by 33 by 18 centimeters, weigh no more than 17.8 kg per panel, consume less than 250 watts at maximum operating duty cycle, and meet military standards MIL-STD-810H with IP66 or IP67 ingress ratings.
The Rapid Deployment Kit must enable tool-less field assembly and full operation within one hour by a single person, feature a rugged multi-axis heavy-duty steel tripod, include an integrated junction box with Layer-2 Ethernet switch supporting up to four radars with a single C2 data interface and power interface, and incorporate a tripod-mountable COMROD ComPact 2400 power supply unit capable of supporting global wall-power variants. The complete kit, including all structural and cabling elements, must pack into no more than three rugged mobile transport cases for rapid deployment.

1. Salient Characteristics: Radar System
. It must meet the following minimum technical specifications:
Technical Parameter
Required Specification
Antenna Technology
Must utilize Metamaterials Electronically Steerable Array (MESA®) technology to achieve true electronic beam steering without moving parts
Frequency Band Operating in the Ku-Band (15.4 to 16.6 GHz)
Spatial Field of View
130° Azimuth x 90° Elevation dynamic volume coverage.
Angular Accuracy Tracking accuracy must be < 0.5° in both Azimuth and Elevation to support precise optical (EO/IR) camera cueing
Track Capacity Must actively track > 40 high-priority targets and > 1,000 low-priority targets simultaneously
Detection Performance
Group 1 UAS (e.g., DJI Phantom): > 2.7 km to 3.0 km
Group 2 UAS (e.g., Matrice 600): > 4.8 km to 6.0 km Dismounted Human: > 8.0 km Tactical Vehicle: > 11.0 km
Physical Dimensions
Maximum footprint of 42.5 x 33 x 18 cm.
Sensor Weight Maximum weight of 17.8 kg (39.2 lbs) per radar panel.
Power Consumption
< 250 Watts at maximum operating duty cycle (and < 100 Watts in hot standby)
Environmental Ingress
Ruggedized to military standards (MIL-STD-810H), with an ingress rating of IP66 or IP67
2. Salient Characteristics: Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK)
The RDK is designed to streamline tactical transport and permit field assembly of up to four radars into a unified, high-accuracy hemispherical situational awareness platform
System Component
Required Specification
Assembly Velocity
System must be capable of tool-less field assembly and full operation in less than 1 hour by a 1-person team
Structural Frame
Rugged, multi-axis heavy-duty tripod made of durable steel components designed for rapid remote emplacement
Integrated Junction Box
• Mountable directly to the tripod. • Must support power/data lines for up to four (4) EchoShield radars. • Includes an integrated Layer-2 Ethernet Switch. • Provides a single C2 data interface and a single power interface.
Power Supply Unit (PSU)
• Tripod-mountable COMROD ComPact 2400 PSU (or exact equivalent). • Must provide stable power for up to four (4) active EchoShield radars plus ancillary equipment simultaneously. • Must support global wall-power variants (5-15P, Type E/F, Type G)
Logistical Footprint
Complete RDK (with structural and cabling elements) must pack down into no more than three (3) rugged, mobile transport cases (e.g., Pelican or equivalent) for rapid transport
