Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance and Control Model 2 (AN/TPY-2) Adjunct Sensor Prototype (ADJ-P) for Hypersonic Glide Defense (HGD)
Abstract
This an eighteen month project that developed and integrated a Phase 1 and Phase 2 configuration of an ADJ-P for HGD to increase the effectiveness of the TYP-2 radar system. The ADJ-P uses the X-band frequency, enabling a threat track quality comparable to the existing AN/TPY-2 radars. The Phase 1 configuration included hardware, firmware, and software enhancements that were tested in a scaled environment to prove operational relevancy. The Phase 2 configuration integrated additional enhancements to the ADJ-P including a high power transmitter and improved threat track software. With FY 2017 funding, the ADJ-P completed design reviews in FY 2018 and will conduct testing and demonstrations for both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 configurations in FY 2019. The findings from these demonstrations will inform senior leadership and proven capabilities will transition to the Missile Defense Agency AN/TPY-2 Program of Record.
