Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR)
Abstract
The Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) is a single material solution for the mobile Multi-Role Radar System and Ground Weapons Locating Radar (GWLR) requirements. It is a three-dimensional, short/medium range multi-role radar designed to detect unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles, air breathing targets, rockets, artillery, and mortars. G/ATOR satisfies the warfighter's expeditionary needs across the Marine Air Ground Task Force spectrum replacing five legacy radar systems with a single solution. The Air Defense/Surveillance Radar G/ATOR Block 1 provides capabilities in the Short Range Air Defense and Air Surveillance mission areas; GWLR G/ATOR Block 2 will address Counter-fire Targeting Missions; and Expeditionary Airport Surveillance Radar G/ATOR Block 4 will address Air Traffic Control missions. G/ATOR provides real-time radar measurement data to the Tactical Air Operations Module, Common Aviation Command and Control System, Composite Tracking Network, and Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System. G/ATOR Block 3 (GB3) is not currently defined or resourced. Once GB3 capabilities are defined resourcing will be included in future budget builds.
