Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR)
Abstract
The mission of the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) program is to design, develop, integrate, deliver, field, and sustain the LRDR as an element of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Increment 6b Homeland Defense (HLD) Capability. This capability is representative of LRDR Configuration 1. Initial fielding of the LRDR is planned for 2020 leading to an Operational Capability Declaration in FY 2022. The LRDR is comprised of a LRDR Equipment Shelter (LES), housing two radar array faces, a Mission Control Facility (MCF) which supports radar operations, and supporting facilities and infrastructure. The Secretary of the Air Force approved Clear Air Force Station, Alaska as the LRDR site. The Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) is the designated Lead Major Command (MAJCOM). The LRDR operates in the S-band frequency, features scalable and open systems architecture to mitigate evolving threats, and integrates into the BMDS through the Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) system. This Program Element includes BMDS threat discrimination improvements to enhance BMDS effectiveness against the evolving threat. The result will be a BMDS architecture more capable of discriminating and intercepting re-entry vehicles with a higher degree of confidence to improve Warfighter shot doctrine, and conserve Ground-Based Defense (GMD) interceptor inventory. LRDR also supports additional mission areas including Space Situational Awareness.
