Marine Ground-Air Radar
Abstract
The Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) is a critical CMC Force Design program. G/ATOR is a multi-role, ground-based, expeditionary 3D radar system employed by both the Air Combat Element (ACE) and Ground Combat Element (GCE) within the Marine Air Ground Task Force. It satisfies the Marine Air Command and Control System and the Ground Counter Fire/Counter Battery capabilities. G/ATOR provides mobile, multi-functional, three-dimensional surveillance of air breathing targets, detection of cruise missiles, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Rockets, Artillery and Mortars, and the cueing of air defense weapons. G/ATOR contributes to Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE) and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) by surveillance and detection of enemy air threats not seen by Navy sensors in the littorals and participating in a cooperative engagement network of sensors and shooters. G/ATOR enables integrated fire control (IFC) and provides 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. G/ATOR is the primary Ground-Based sensor for the United States Marine Corps and is the only Air Defense/Air Surveillance radar currently in the Marine Corps inventory. RDT&E funding increases $31.570M from FY 2023 to FY 2024 in order to continue to support the development and integration of software required to implement the full spectrum of Naval Integrated Fire Control, the development of a new Radar Signal Processor (RSP), replacing a 2007 vintage RSP, the continuation of the Ground Weapons Locating Radar user improvements identified during DT/OT and IOT&E testing, Multi-Domain Radar in a Contested Environment (MuDRaCE), as well as, the initiation of a new Digital Receiver/Exciter (DREX), Mode S, a Radar Tracker Software Enhancement (RTSE), and G/ATOR Block IV (GB4) Air Traffic Control development, while continuing to pursue software capability improvements providing both low, slow, small (LSS) target detection and non-cooperative target recognition (NCTR).
