Air and Missile Defense Radar
Abstract
A. MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR): The AMDR suite is being developed to fulfill Integrated Air and Missile Defense requirements for multiple ship classes. This suite consists of an S-Band radar (AMDR-S), an X-band radar (AMDR-X) and a Radar Suite Controller (RSC). AMDR will provide multi-mission capabilities, simultaneously supporting both long range, exoatmospheric detection, tracking and discrimination of ballistic missiles, as well as Area and Self Defense against air and surface threats. For the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capability, increased radar sensitivity and bandwidth over current radar systems are needed to detect, track and support engagements of advanced ballistic missile threats at the required ranges, concurrent with Area and Self Defense against Air and Surface threats. For the Area Air Defense and Self Defense capability, increased sensitivity and clutter capability is needed to detect, react to, and engage stressing Very Low Observable /Very Low Flyer (VLO/VLF) threats in the presence of heavy land, sea, and rain clutter. This effort and material provide for the development of an active phased array radar with the required capabilities to address the evolving threat. Modularity of hardware and software, a designed in-growth path for technology insertion, and Open Architecture (OA) compliance are required for performance and technology enhancements throughout service life.
