Abstract
PE 0604283F funded the investigation and development of efforts to improve Wide Area Surveillance (WAS) capabilities. Activities included efforts to improve radar components, analyze integration of improved components, develop C2 solutions for GMTI platforms, and support future program planning. Improvement of radar sensors included efforts to enhance Surface/ Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and other radar modes. This also included air mode capabilities, electronic protection, technology refresh and assessment, antenna scaling/open architecture design, air mode software development, and installed system performance assessments. Integrating enhanced radar systems to radar platforms requires risk reduction and technology maturation with the sensor, operation and control of the sensor, and integration of the sensor. Platform integration activities focused on weapon system integration analysis and risk reduction to address airframe areas such as thermal analysis, electrical power analysis, structural analysis and sensor radome design, and power generation baseline assessment. Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) activities under this PE focused on operation and control of any sensor. These activities included risk reduction, architecture analysis, modeling and simulation, prototype designs and tools related to sensor and data management, data fusion and security, and computing architecture analysis to support mission execution capabilities. Finally, activities on the PE also included studies and analysis to support current program planning, execution, and future program planning. This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
