Wide Area Surveillance
Abstract
Wide Area Surveillance (WAS) consists of two advanced sensor systems, the Stateside Affordable Radar System (STARS) and Scorpion, incorporated into a single WAS System. Based on existing technological capabilities, WAS detects/tracks low, slow and other asymmetrical threats in the airspace and meets the user needs by sensing stressing airborne targets in complex environments with affordable sensors. The sensor outputs are incorporated into the Battle Control Systems-Fixed (BCS-F) air picture and utilized as the North American Aerospace Defense Command/ Northern Command (NORAD/NORTHCOM) Command and Control (C2) air surveillance system of record. This effort is for a S1 Block 2 for the STARS system. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Wide Area Surveillance weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY21 $0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY22 $0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
