Progress of Multifunction Phased Array Radar (MPAR) Program

Abstract

This paper will discuss the progress the Multi-function Phased Array Radar (MPAR) research program has made over the last 2 years as well as insight into the program strategy for moving forward. It follows the paper MPAR Program Overview and Status (Benner et. al 2006) presented at the 87th AMS conference in San Antonio, TX. Several noteworthy events and initiatives have taken place including significant research in semi-conductor technology, and advances in transmit/receive module design and phased array architectures. These activities are the beginning to creating a pathway forward towards system affordability.
