Lincoln Space Surveillance Complex (LSSC) Modernization

Abstract

Lincoln Laboratory has embarked upon a project to modernize the Radar Systems (ALCOR, MMW, TRADEX and ALTAIR) in the Kwajalein Missile Range (KMR) utilizing Radar Open System Architecture (ROSA). This program is called KMR Modernization and Remoting (KMAR). Lincoln Laboratory has already delivered and successfully integrated the ALCOR and MMW radars. Recently, another group at Lincoln Laboratory was exploring ways to modernize the three LSSC radar systems (HAY, HAX, and Millstone (MHR). Since the two efforts were similar, it became apparent that sharing knowledge and resources would be beneficial to both. It was further recognized that making these systems to be as closely identical as possible would result in more benefits for Lincoln Laboratory and the government.
