Marine Ground-Air Radar

Abstract

The Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) is a multi-role, ground-based, expeditionary radar that replaces five legacy radar systems for the Marine Air Ground Task Force. It satisfies the Marine Air Command and Control System (G/ATOR Block 1) and the Ground Counter Fire/Counter Battery (G/ATOR Block 2) capabilities. The G/ATOR replaces the AN/TPS-63 and complements the AN/TPS-59 long range radar and will provide mobile, multi-functional, three-dimensional surveillance of air breathing targets, detection of cruise missiles and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and the cueing of air defense weapons. The G/ATOR contributes to the extension of Sea Shield/Sea Strike by surveillance and detection of enemy air threats not seen by Navy sensors in the littorals by participating in a cooperative engagement network of sensors and shooters. G/ATOR enables Integrated Fire Control (IFC) and provides an engage/fire on remote capability. G/ATOR surveillance coverage with IFC will provide unprecedented reach, volume, and precision in the execution of Operational Maneuver From The Sea, allowing Naval forces to project and sustain power deep inland. RDT&E funding decreases $20.688M from FY19 to FY20 with the completion of DT1E/IOT&E in FY19.
