MEADS MFCR (3)
The third component of the MEADS SAM system is the AN/MPS-112 Multi-function Fire Control Radar (MFCR). This module is an X-band, solid-state, active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar designed for target engagement and missile guidance. For extremely rapid deployments, the MEADS MFCR can provide both surveillance and fire control capabilities until a more capable Surveillance Radar joins the network. An advanced Identification Friend-or-Foe subsystem also supports improved threat identification and classification. In US Army service, the MFCR is transported on the back of an M1083 6x6 truck, and the radar and support struts can quickly fold down for storage and transport.
