Range Radar Replacement Program (RRRP)
Abstract
The RRRP develops modern instrumentation radars to replace obsolete tracking and surveillance radars at United States (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. The RRRP provides the test centers with improved radar resolution, sensitivity, accuracy, clutter suppression, and reliability. The planned 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. The Project will procure Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) radars for both the MRR and SRR solutions along with a COTS replacement for the FPS-16 LRR. Also, the program will conduct EMD for upgrading three MPS-39 LRRs and the ROC. FY18 funds the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) for the RRRP Block One (I) LRR and ROC systems in preparation for replacement of equipment at ATC, RTC, WSTC and YTC.
