A linear low-profile horn array is designed, modeled and tested for a collision avoidance system for mounting on Army vehicles. The array has a narrow azimuth beam and a broad elevation beam. The array has a tapered aperture distribution designed as a 40-dB Taylor. The stacking of eight arrays on each side of the vehicle for use in a collision avoidance radar system creates an environment that alters the antenna pattern. The simulation of the antenna in-situ using FEKO is presented and the impacts on the antenna performance are discussed.
