Long Rand Disc Radar (LRDR)

Abstract

The BMD Vision Study, conducted by MDA with USSTRATCOM, identified the need to enhance the discrimination capabilities of our sensors and weapon systems. The BMD Sensors Program meets this need through the following activities: -Development and deployment of Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) to provide an improved persistent midcourse Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) discrimination capability in the Pacific architecture and to increase the defensive capacity of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) interceptor inventory and address evolving threats. -System engineering, software development, and testing support for LRDR development and future deployment within the Pacific Sensor architecture. -Modeling and Simulation (M&S) efforts to include: integration of LRDR digital simulations into the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), M&S architecture, and Verification, Validation, and Accreditation of LRDR models -Auxiliary mission to augment the USAF Space Surveillance capability
