Congressional Adds
Abstract
The AN/SPS-49 Radar received a Congressional Add in 2009. AN/SPS-49(V) radar system has become a Dimishing Manufacturing Source(DMS) issue with more than 17 Lowest Replaceable Units (LRU's) that are UTP (Unable To Procure). The AN/SPS-49(V) radar system is the Navy's primary two-dimensional (2D) long-range search radar. AN/SPS-49(V) radar systems are installed in CG, CVN, FFG, LSD, LHD classes and are planned for installation in the LHA(R) ship class. The AN/SPS-49 is scheduled to be in service another 40 years. The FY09 Congressional Add enables continued support of the SPS-49 current fielded systems in the interim period before the Radar Common Signal Data Processor is fielded. This addressess the obsolescence and DMS issues associated with the many Automated Test Equipment platforms utilized to repair the radar components and facilitates the development and implementation of an interim test and repair strategy for the current radar platforms.
