HEATR
Hostile Emitter Angle Tracker Revised
The HEATR system is a small, self contained, battery powered, and ruggedized digital receiver used to assist an operator in determining the direction to an emitter. HEATR can operate against several different systems by using the correct antenna and recalling the appropriate calibration tables from the embedded FLASH memory. The user configures the receiver using an intuitive menu and a four way navigation switch. The HEATR system is can be ordered with any combination of antennas.

All HEATR antennas utilize an advanced micro-strip patch technology that produces an antenna with a thin depth, directivity, and bandwidth in excess of the defined systems. The antennas are mechanically protected by an additional layer of dielectric material bonded over the patches and a metallic ribbed exterior. Antennas are connected to the receiver using a coaxial cable that is keyed for a positive connection. HEATR antennas contain active elements that filter and amplify the desired signal, maximizing the sensitivity of the system.
HEATR and its Components
The HEATR receiver housing is designed to protect the receiver components as much as possible from the elements. It was designed to minimize weight, and provide easy, user friendly access to the headphone jacks, charging connector, menu and toggle switches, and the antenna connector.
