Looks like a missile tracking system. There was one similar for sale on ebay a while ago.

You know you want it.

That's cool.

It looks like one of those reconditioned guided missile launchers/tracker. They pop up on ebay occasionally for around $5,000.

Can you imagine how many cop cars pull him over.

JEEZ, I hope this guy doesn't live in Qld - we don't need anymore rain, and there has to be another 4 weeks worth in that at least.....

Yeah test range tracking equipment. Seen similar tracking stuff, albeit a little older, at Woomera range.

I hope when they were turning corners that they watched out where the sun was otherwise they could take out a few cars or people with laser beams
