FOPEN Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Tracking and Engagement Radar (FORESTER)

Program Manager: Mr. Lyndall Beamer

Mission:

The Foliage Penetration Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Tracking and Engagement Radar (FORESTER) is a joint DARPA/Army program to develop and demonstrate an advanced airborne UHF radar capable of detecting people and vehicles moving under foliage. FORESTER will provide robust, wide-area, all-weather, persistent stand-off coverage of moving vehicles and dismounted troops under foliage, filling the surveillance gap that currently exists.
