Advanced Radar Technology
Abstract
Advanced Radar Technology (ART): The EASR and EXI Engineering and Manufacturing Development (E&MD) contracts are to be awarded in FY16. This requires a significant increase in funding between FY16 and FY17. Funds the development and integration of existing and new radar technologies into the Navy's sensors to enhance performance and/or ensure sensor operations and sustainment throughout the lifecycle of the sensor and platforms on which installed. Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR): EASR will modify an existing radar technology to meet the air surveillance requirements for multiple ship classes. EASR will be one sensor in a suite that is designed to meet the performance needs for ship self-defense, situational awareness and air traffic control. EASR will replace the the Volume Search Radar (VSR) in the CVN 78 Class Dual Band Radar system and the AN/SPS-48/49 radar systems in numerous ship classes. The AN/SPS-48 Radars are long-range, three-dimensional (3-D) radars used to search, detect and provide space-stabilized, three-coordinate (range, bearing, height) data for air intercept control and designation to a weapon system. The AN/SPS-49A(V)1 radar system is a long range, two dimensional (2-D), L-Band air surveillance radar installed on USN major combatants. The AN/SPY-4 Volume Search Radar (VSR) is an S-Band active phased array radar deployed on CVN 78 providing volume surveillance and air traffic control. EASR funding will develop a modern 3-D air search radar that addresses the latest requirements for Aviation and Amphibious Warfare Ships and closely conforms to existing combat system interfaces, as well as aligns with existing shipboard space, weight, and power limits. The architecture and acquisition strategy for EASR is intended to drive a lower recurring cost by utilizing the same core technology for both fixed-face and rotating array variants. EASR will provide for engineering of component and system level technology improvements for equipment used by in service air search radars. Enterprise X-Band Illuminator (EXI): EXI funding will develop an X-band illuminator compatible with the EASR radar and Combat System suite. Funding will also integrate a missile illuminator for future CVN applications as well as other ship classes.
