Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) for Fixed Ground Antenna Radomes (FGAR)
Abstract
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Fixed Ground Antenna Radome (FGAR) Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) is prepared by the Program Manager (PM) and Associate Program Manager for Test (APMT). It outlines the Test and Evaluation (T&E) process that will be used to ensure the project meets the requirements of the project specification and the system and subsystem requirements allocated to the project. The FAA TEMP contains FGAR Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) test requirements and OT&E schedule durations. The purpose of the FGAR project is to provide new and larger radomes for en route surveillance radars that require collocated Mode Select Beacon System (Mode S) installations. As a result of the FAA's program to implement Mode S, many existing en route surveillance radar radomes cannot accommodate the additional space required by the new Mode S antennas. The FGARs will provide an environmental enclosure for a variety of single or dual-face monopulse beacon phased array and en route surveillance radar installations. Installations will be comprised of an installation mix ranging from beacon-only-sites (BOS) to collocated beacon and en route surveillance radar sites.
