Three Dimensional Expeditionary Long Range Radar
Abstract
Mission Description: The Three-Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar (3DELRR) will be the principal USAF long-range, ground-based sensor for detecting, identifying, tracking and reporting aerial tracks for the Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) through the Theater Air Control System. The 3DELRR system will provide multiple benefits and increased capabilities to the USAF and to the Joint Services: 1) Replace the aging USAF AN/TPS-75 radar system, which is at the end of its service life and costly to maintain; 2) Detect and track highly maneuverable, small radar cross section air-breathing targets; 3) Mitigate reliability, operational availability, maintainability, transportability and sustainability issues, which plague the AN/TPS-75 radar system; 4) Enable greater battlefield and battlespace awareness through its precise, real-time air picture of sufficient quality to control individual aircraft under a wide range of environmental and operational conditions; 5) Serve as a pilot program for Defense Exportability Features (DEF) to maximize export potential early in the design phase while reducing 3DELRR life cycle costs through increased production; and 6) Provide exchange of information to the United States Marine Corps, Navy and Army via appropriate interfaces. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Three-Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, and 0605898F. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. This effort 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.
