The Firefinder (AN/TPQ-47) Radar (the Q-47), an Army Acquisition Category III program, is intended to improve upon and replace the Firefinder (AN/TPQ-37) Radar (Q-37). The Q-47 will identify incoming projectiles, consisting of mortars, artillery, rockets, and short-range missiles and will determine the launch and impact location of the projectile. The Q-47 will provide greater mobility and range with 50 percent greater target location accuracy than the Q-37. The Army plans to acquire 72 Q-47 systems at an estimated life-cycle cost of $1.4 billion through FY 2027 (FY 1998 dollars) and plans to hold the full-rate production decision in FY 2006.
