Wide Area Surveillance
Abstract
Beginning in FY14, PE 0604445F funds the development and fielding of prototype units of the Stateside Affordable Radar System (STARS) which will improve the existing air surveillance capabilities for homeland defense. Initial efforts will focus upon improving the quality of air surveillance in the airspace surrounding the National Capitol Region (NCR) as well as integration into existing NORAD/NORTHCOM command and control systems and the NCR Integrated Air Defense System (NCR-IADS). Additional details about the capabilities of STARS are classified. FY14 activities include, but not limited to, establishment of an Air Force program office, integration of the Air Force development team into the Army development team to facilitate transfer of STARS to the Air Force. In addition, FY14 activities will include development of acquisition documentation to establish STARS as a program of record. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development. However, this reflects an incorrect database. This program should be in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
