White Paper - ProPatria Beagle PGSR - June 2010
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.
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.
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.
