(U)Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR)

Abstract

The Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) is a multi-role, ground-based, expeditionary radar that replaces five legacy radar systems for the Marine Air Ground Task Force. It satisfies the Marine Air Command and Control System (G/ATOR Block 1) and the Ground Counter Fire/Counter Battery (G/ATOR Block 2) capabilities. The G/ATOR replaces the AN/TPS-63 and complements the AN/TPS-59 long range radar and will provide mobile, multi-functional, three-dimensional surveillance of air breathing targets, detection of cruise missiles and UAS, and the cueing of air defense weapons. The G/ATOR contributes to the extension of Sea Shield/Sea Strike by surveillance and detection of enemy air threats not seen by Navy sensors in the littorals by participating in a cooperative engagement network of sensors and shooters. G/ATOR enables Integrated Fire Control (IFC) and provides engage/fire on remote capability. G/ATOR surveillance coverage with IFC will provide unprecedented reach, volume, and precision in the execution of Operational Maneuver From The Sea, allowing Naval forces to project and sustain power deep inland.

Change Summary Explanation
RDT&E funding decreases $9.616M throughout the total G/ATOR program from FY18 to FY19 with the completion of DT1C/OA, DT1D/OA and initiation of DT1E in FY18. Program Management support completely migrates from RDT&E to PMC funding as G/ATOR begins Full Rate Production in FY19. RDT&E funding increase in FY19 from PB18 to PB19 supports software development supporting a Composite Tracking Network (CTN) interface for the GB2 mission profile that will reduce Warfighter Air Surveillance gaps and improvements to the radar emplacement/displacement time.
