The ROTHR system uses ionospheric propagation to detect and track targets at all altitudes and on the surface. The extremely long detection ranges permit a large amount of flexibility in the siting of each individual system to accommodate performance while achieving mission requirements. Each system can be remotely deployed and controlled by a single Consolidated Operations Control Center (OCC) that is located at the users convenience. All systems data is shared to provide a seamless transition of tracking information. The OCC can provide individual radar tracks that are fused, processed and reported to higher command levels or to a fully integrated sensor network. Raytheon is currently evaluating the use of ROTHR to provide Wide Area Surveillance for a National Coastal Surveillance System for Homeland Defense. As an operational and deployed asset with ground-based results, ROTHR is a low risk and cost effective, proven solution for improving the security of the U.S. coastline.
