(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 Unmanned Aerial Systems (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 an engage/fire on remote capability. G/ATOR surveillance coverage with IFC will provide unprecedented reach, volume, and precision in exploiting positional advantage and defending key maritime terrain that enables persistent sea control and denial operations forward.

Change Summary Explanation
RDT&E funding decreases $6.686M from FY20 to FY21 due to a $5M congressional add in FY20 and reductions in test & evaluation and Government technical support, while ensuring continued improvement in G/ATOR software capabilities required in a Peer/Near-Peer Competitor environment. FY 2021 President's Budget Submission increased $11.7M from the FY 2020 President's Budget Submission to adequately resource both program Electronic Protection and software capability modification efforts necessary in a Peer/Near-Peer Competitor environment.
