Radar System
Abstract
Long Range Radar (AN/TPS-59) - The AN/TPS-59A(V)3 is a transportable, three dimensional, tactical radar system that provides the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) with long-range surveillance. It is the MAGTF's only ground based long range sensor that provides the capability to detect and report Air Breathing Targets (ABT) and track Theater Ballistic Missiles (TBM). The AN/TPS-59A(V)3 Radar System is connected to the Common Aviation Command and Control Systems (CAC2S). It provides the air defense controllers data and may be used autonomously to conduct Ground Control Intercept, tactical en-route Air Traffic Control (ATC), or TBM alert operations via the Joint Integrated Air Missile Defense (IAMD) encrypted Link-16. AN/TPS-59 funding zeroed beginning FY 2021 due to Marine Corps decision to modernize in accordance with the National Defense Strategy (NDS)/Defense Planning Guidance (DPG). Virtual Warfare Center (VWC) Support - The project team conducts fully interactive simulated war games at the Virtual Warfare Center (VWC) in St. Louis, MO, in order to quantify family of systems performance and how it impacts effectiveness in the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) mission area. The VWC provides a venue for the exploration of advanced engagement concepts focused on persistent forward naval engagements in support of the MAGTF and the development of associated Joint and Service specific tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). VWC support encompasses a set of integrated fire control (IFC) activities that also includes concept/CONOPS development, family of systems architecture development, and systems engineering/integration efforts. Prior to FY 2024, the VWC program was also funded in Program Element 0604504N Air Control Project 0718. In FY 2024 and out, the entirety of VWC funding is consolidated under PE 0206313M Project 3099.
