SRC Inc. has received $8.1 million awards to develop its airborne Foliage Penetration Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Tracking and Engagement Radar (FORESTER) that penetrates through foliage to track people and vehicles on the ground. The funding is coming from a $5.3 million contract from The Army and $2.8 million through the FY ’09 Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance and Continuing Appropriations Act. SRC is currently completing a five-year contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Army to develop and test two-prototypes of the FORESTER system mounted on Boeing [BA] A160 Hummingbird unmanned helicopters. The new funding will help SRC transition the radar system from a prototype to an operationally fielded system.
