IDF Unit Specializes in Detecting Sources of Enemy Rocket Fire
(BreakingDefense) Seth J. Frantzman - When rockets are launched towards Israel, military radars trace the incoming munition to help intercept it or to predict where it might land. But one specialized IDF unit is tasked with seeing where the rocket was fired from and quickly getting that information to other Israeli units that can respond with lethal force. "We detect the LP (launch point) while other radars may also focus on the IP (Impact point)," said Lt.-Col. B, commander of Israel's 611 "Eagle" battalion of the 282nd artillery brigade.
