About this file
This document is a salient characteristics specification for the EchoDyne EchoShield Radar System procurement, detailing required equipment and technical requirements for delivery to Aviano Air Base.
The procurement requires four EchoShield Radar units (NATO Green, part number 700025-300-30), one Rapid Deployment Kit–Gen 1 (part number 700046-100-200), four software update and technical support packages with 36-month duration, and one-time assembly instruction and system training for 4-8 personnel at Aviano AB. The radar system must utilize Metamaterials Electronically Steerable Array (MESA®) technology operating in the Ku-Band (15.4-16.6 GHz) with 130° azimuth by 90° elevation field of view and tracking accuracy less than 0.5° in both dimensions. Detection performance requirements include range capabilities for Group 1 UAS (2.7-3.0 km), Group 2 UAS (4.8-6.0 km), dismounted personnel (8.0 km), and tactical vehicles (11.0 km), with simultaneous tracking capacity for over 40 high-priority and 1,000 low-priority targets. Physical specifications include maximum dimensions of 42.5 x 33 x 18 cm, weight not exceeding 17.8 kg per panel, power consumption under 250 watts at maximum duty cycle, and MIL-STD-810H ruggedization with IP66 or IP67 environmental ingress protection.
The Rapid Deployment Kit must enable tool-less field assembly and full operation within one hour by a single operator, featuring a heavy-duty steel tripod with integrated junction box supporting up to four radars, a COMROD ComPact 2400 power supply unit supporting global wall-power variants, and Layer-2 Ethernet switching. The complete RDK must pack into no more than three rugged transport cases for rapid mobility.

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
