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 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 to meet program requirements consists of four primary items: Long Range Single Object Tracking Radars (SOTR), Long Range Multiple Object Tracking Radars (MOTR), Medium Range Radars (MRR), and Short Range Radars (SRR). 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) and/or Modified Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (MOTS) radars for both the MRR and SRR solutions, and a combination of recapitalization and COTS/MOTS replacement for the FPS-16 Long Range Radars. Also, the program will conduct EMD for upgrading three MPS-39 Long Range MOTRs. Fiscal Year 2019 funds the procurement and testing of COTS Medium Range Radars as replacement equipment to ATC, RTC,WSTC and YTC.
