Ok...
Someone on another website says it is an AN/TPQ-49 Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar (LCMR)

Can anyone confirm or deny?

While I’m not too familiar with counter mortar systems, I do know that the crate is too small for the unit. That said, each crate might contain components to assemble. It’s not a small unit, but can be static on the ground, or mobile attached to a HMMWV.

Back in the day, counter battery was integrated in the bed of a deuce and a half.

It’s not a HAWK continuous wave acquisition radar, and it’s not a HAWK pulse acquisition radar.

You can cross those right off.

The scene is an artillery battery that was overrun. Could be some type of a meteorological set. MET is one one of the five factors of accurate predicted fire.

My knowledge is getting dated. The receiving station used to be trailer mounted but then again back then they used vacuum tubes. (And stone knives and bear skins).

Regardless of whether this is on the internet or not, doesn’t mean it should be. Anyeone who knows what this is, should probably be keeping it to themselves.

According to the Russophile, the US has promised Ukraine 20 LCMR systems, the first three having been delivered in November.
