Homeland Defense Radar-Hawaii

Abstract

The Homeland Defense Radar - Hawaii (HDR-H) was envisioned as a persistent tracking and discrimination radar that could provide added capability to the Ballistic Missile System (BMDS) to support defense of Hawaii. The defense of Hawaii remains a high priority mission for the Department of Defense. The Department has recently initiated a broader study on the defense of Hawaii. This study will characterize the broader air and missile evolved threat to Hawaii and identify the most effective means of mitigating this risk, considering domain awareness capabilities, passive resilience measures, and active defense. The results of this study are intended to inform potential investment options for President's Budget (PB) 2024. Pending the outcome of the study, MDA will explore alternate options for potential uses of already produced components and technology. Subsequently, the Department, pending congressional approval, will determine the best option to utilize these components and technology, which may include potential placement of sensors in other locations.
