Long Range Discrim 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. This need was affirmed by the USSTRATCOM's Integrated Air and Missile Defense Prioritized Capabilities List for Program Objective Memorandum FY15. The funds in this project will be utilized by the BMD Sensors Program to meet this need through the following activities: -Development and deployment of a Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) by FY 2020 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 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 -In addition, the inherent capabilities of the LRDR will be leveraged to support auxiliary missions, including augmentation of United States Air Force (USAF) Space Surveillance and Space Awareness capabilities
