The Q36 is primarily optimized to locate which type of weapon systems?

The Q36 is primarily optimized to locate mortar systems. This system employs advanced radar technology to detect, track, and provide targeting solutions for incoming mortar rounds and the launch points of mortars. Its design takes into account the unique characteristics of mortar fire, which often includes a high arc of projectile flight and relatively short flight times, allowing it to accurately identify the source of mortar fire even when the attack is quick and difficult to counter.

The other options represent longer-range or different types of weapon systems. For instance, artillery systems typically have longer ranges and different firing characteristics compared to mortars, which necessitate different detection approaches. Rockets may also have varying trajectories and delivery methods that the Q36 may not be specifically tuned to identify effectively. Missiles, while they can be fired in a similar manner to mortars, usually require more sophisticated tracking systems due to their higher speed and variable trajectories. Thus, the Q36's specific optimization for mortars allows for quicker reaction times and more effective counter-battery operations against this type of fire.
