AN/TPQ-36 Weapons Locating Radar Systems Characteristics and Employment 26 October 2021 ATP 3-09.12 J-9 Step 4. Computer extrapolates the POO and POI. Figure J-5. Hostile mode process example Note: The Graphic illustrates the hostile mode of detection, verification, and location methodology. AN/TPQ-36 VIDEO INTEGRATION J-42. Video integration improves the radar's probability of detecting objects beyond 3km, but reduces the probability of detection short of 3km (see figure J-6, figure J-7, and also turn to page J-12 to see figure J-8 and figure J-9). A radar beam looks at a spot for a given amount of time, and can consist of 1, 2, or 4 dwells. A dwell consists of 16 radar pulses, resulting in a target being illuminated up to 16 times in a single dwell. The AN/TPQ-36, with video integration on, uses the 2 or 4 dwell mode, rather than 1 dwell. The number of times a target can be illuminated increase to 32 or 64 with video integration off. Note. Whether or not to use video integration needs to be described during planning targeting threat assessment and in accordance with the priority intelligence requirements. J-43. In noncontiguous or static position operations, if the WLR is located in the middle of the static position and it is more than 3km to the edge of the static position perimeter, it could be beneficial to turn video integration "ON", depending on the nature of the threat.
