Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR)
Abstract
The Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) is a multi-role, ground-based, expeditionary 3D radar system employed by both the Air Combat Element (ACE) and Ground Combat Element (GCE) within the Marine Air Ground Task Force. It satisfies the Marine Air Command and Control System and the Ground Counter Fire/Counter Battery capabilities. G/ATOR provides mobile, multi-functional, three-dimensional surveillance of air breathing targets, detection of cruise missiles, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Rockets, Artillery and Mortars, and the cueing of air defense weapons. G/ATOR contributes to Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE) and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) by surveillance and detection of enemy air threats not seen by Navy sensors in the littorals and 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. G/ATOR is the primary Ground-Based sensor for the United States Marine Corps, and is the only Air Defense/Air Surveillance radar currently in the Marine Corps inventory.

- Change Summary Explanation
- RDT&E funding increases by $16.201M from FY 2022 to FY 2023 to continue to support the development and integration of software required to implement the full spectrum of Naval Integrated Fire Control (NIFC) and the development of a new Radar Signal Processor (RSP), replacing a 2007 vintage RSP, as well as, initiates both Ground Weapons Locating Radar (GWLR) User Improvements identified during DT/OT and IOT&E testing and the transition of Multi-Domain Radar in a Contested Environment (MuDRaCE), from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), while continuing to pursue software capability improvements providing both Low, Slow, Small (LSS) Target Detection and Non-Cooperative Target Recognition (NCTR). The FY 2023 funding request was adjusted by $2.240M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
