    The Propatria Beagle 3 Portable Ground Surveillance Radar (PGSR) is a mobile ground surveillance radar that can be deployed and operational in under 3 minutes. It provides full-spectrum radar capabilities for security of firebases, outposts, or forward operating bases from a range of up to 48 km. Unlike other systems, all sensitive data is stored on a laptop computer rather than the radar hardware, allowing the hardware to be left in place without compromising security if the mission is compromised. The Beagle 3 costs $150,000 and can be delivered within 30 days.

    PROPATRIA ELECTRONICS BEAGLE 3 PORTABLE GROUND


    SURVEILLANCE RADAR (PGSR)

    Benefit to the Warfighter: Propatria’s Beagle Portable Ground Surveillance Radar (PGSR) is the
    only truly mobile GSR meeting SOF peculiar requirements, by offering truly mobile and highly
    sensitive GSR capabilities in austere in unpredictable environments. The Beagle PGSR works
    above 10,000 meters altitude, can be deployed and operational in under 3 minutes, provides full-
    spectrum GSR capabilities for firebase, outpost, or FOB security, and is operated entirely from a
    laptop computer, which can be multi-purposed for other requirements (the laptop does not need to
    be designated solely for the Beagle’s use). If the mission is compromised, the PGSR hardware
    can be left in place without compromising mission security, as all sensitive data resides on the
    laptop. The laptop can be connected to the hardware in multiple configurations, to include coax,
    Ethernet, or wireless.
    How soon is it available? Delivery within 30 days
    How much does it cost? $150,000 Qty 1.

    Introduction and Product Overview

    PGSR-3i “Beagle” is a unique, lightweight, man-portable FMCW radar - a versatile, cost-effective solution,
    offering a multitude of advantages, making it an ideal choice for border security, battlefield surveillance,
    civilian and military installation security, and combat operations.

    Because of its low weight and small dimensions, the Beagle can be carried by two-man units and is also
    mountable on vehicles or on fixed posts, as needed. The Beagle is fully networkable, able to be used as a
    standalone unit, in clusters of 2-3, and/or networks of several dozens, as required by the scenario.

    The system itself is ultra-rugged, capable of withstanding a wide range of environmental hazards while
    maintaining its reliability, offering minimal chance of malfunction.

    Due to its operating principles, the Beagle has nominal possibility of jamming and possesses Low
    Probability of Intercept, Detect, and Exploit (LPI/LPD/LPE) capabilities.

    The Beagle can be powered by two BB2590 batteries for up to 12 hours with continual use. This is an
    extremely useful feature as these batteries are in constant supply and easy to acquire. The Beagle can
    also be powered via the slave cable or AC power supply on most vehicles.

    Of most notable importance, the processing capabilities of the Beagle reside on a laptop computer (a
    Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 is supplied with the Beagle, if requested). No data resides on the receiver.
    This means that the system can be left in place in an emergency and there is no information or operational
    security ramifications. This also means that if a laptop is already being used, the Beagle can be operated
    from pre-existing equipment. Additionally, because of this design feature, the operator can be at a stand-
    off distance from the receiver, connected via network cable or even wirelessly, increasing their survivability.
