CEA Tactical Sensor (CEATAC) trailer mounted in transport mode.
This work had proved the feasibil- ity of fitting Hawkei with the pedes- tal launcher equipping the Humvee, an exercise requiring close coopera- tion between Thales and Raytheon. The launcher on the Hawkei would run off vehicle power as would the CEATAC, which would also have a battery pack providing up to an hour of energy, COL Mallett stated.
Work Package Four was envisaged but not developed, with no work at- tached. Work Package Five tasked Raytheon with determining whether the quality of service (track accuracy and update rates) provided by Army’s in-service Giraffe Agile Multi-Beam ra- dar and the proposed new CEA radars would be viable substitutes for Sentinel.
For CEA, RMA deliverables for Op- tion 2 comprised the prototyping of the CEATAC and CEAOPS to allow performance testing and provide an understanding of the production costs and schedule. The company was also been involved in Work Packages Two and Five, assessing the radars within the network and their quality of service.
