Abstract

Long Range Radar (AN/TPS-59) $12.554M - The AN/TPS-59A(V)3 is a transportable, three dimensional, tactical radar system that provides the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) with long-range surveillance. It is the MAGTF's only ground based long range sensor that provides the capability to detect and report Air Breathing Targets (ABT) and track Theater Ballistic Missiles (TBM). The AN/TPS-59A(V)3 Radar System is connected to the Common Aviation Command and Control Systems (CAC2S). It provides the air defense controllers data and may be used autonomously to conduct ground control intercept, tactical en-route Air Traffic Control (ATC), or TBM alert operations via the joint Integrated Air Missile Defense (IAMD) encrypted Link-16. The USMC extended the AN/TPS-59 service life through 2035, therefore, in order to maintain operational relevance on the battlefield, a number of modernization efforts are being initiated. The Digital Receiver and Exciter (DREX) upgrade will convert the analog receivers and exciters to digital to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) issues, enable spectral agility, reduce noise, reduce false alarms, and enhance electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) capability. This effort will include an essential simulation and test environment capability. Ground Based Air Defense- Future Weapons Systems (GBAD FWS) $39.405M- In response to urgent warfighting requirements for counter unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) capability, the Marine Corps has developed and delivered multiple C-UAS systems supporting both conventional and special operations Marine Corps forces. The Marine Corps will transition to a new Ground based Air Defense (GBAD) Program of Record called the Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) with an Initial Operational Capability of FY21. The MADIS, which will be based on the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) relies on technological and integration advancements of near-term C-UAS efforts.
