Overview (U):

(U) The Enhanced Tactical Radar Correlator (ETRAC) is the Army's latest generation of systems for tactical exploitation of national capabilities. ETRAC is a radar imagery processing system that provides data to the Corps commander. There are two ETRAC systems currently deployed, one in direct support of XVIII Airborne Corps, Ft Bragg, NC and one at V Corps, Mainz-Finthen, Germany.


Description (U):
