Firefinder vs Rockets
Firefinder will be pretty ineffective against incoming rockets. The trajectory is too flat and even though the radar observes the incoming round, its software filters out the round and classifies it as not conforming to the profile of a mortar or artillery projectile. It then discards the round and never reports it to the operator.
In Lebanon, there were difficulties to register and adjust the 16 inch rounds from the battleship USS New Jersey. The software essentially said that something that big can't fly or if it is flying, it ain't a projectile.
Is that helpful?
