Range Radar Replacement Program (RRRP)
Abstract
The Range Radar Replacement Program (RRRP) develops modern instrumentation radars to replace obsolete tracking and surveillance radars at U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command's (ATEC) Developmental Test Command (DTC) activities which include: Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), MD; Redstone Test Center (RTC), AL; White Sands Test Center (WSTC), NM; and Yuma Test Center (YTC), AZ. The acquisition of modern instrumentation radar systems will provide the Army critical testing data essential for the development of complex next generation technology and advanced system capabilities. RRRP provides the test centers with improved radar resolution, sensitivity, accuracy, clutter suppression, and reliability. The anticipated solution for the program requirements is a modular open architecture system consisting of four primary items: a long range radar (LRR), a medium range radar (MRR), a short range radar (SRR), and a radar operations console (ROC). The resulting system will not only reduce operation and sustainment costs for the ranges, but improve data collection, thus enhancing development of Army systems being tested at these ranges. The current fleet of instrumentation radars located at ATC, RTC, WSTC, and YTC has become antiquated to the extent that they are not able to support the test needs of the test centers. FY 17 Base RDT&E dollars in the amount of $26.333 million funds the development, software engineering, and testing of replacement radars. Prior development effort was funded in APE 664759 984. RRRP is currently being re-baselined. As a result, associated procurement dollars will be reprogrammed and redistributed as RDT&E through FY21.
