Long Range Discrim Radar (LRDR)

Abstract

This project provides for the development and initial fielding of a LRDR by 2020 to provide an improved persistent midcourse BMDS discrimination capability in the Pacific sensor architecture. The LRDR will also increase the defensive capacity of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) interceptor inventory and address evolving threats. MDA's request includes funding for the design and development of the LRDR, delivery of spares for initial fielding, system engineering, software development, software Independent Verification and Validation, hardware manufacturing, qualification testing, developmental testing support and Modeling and Simulation (M&S) efforts. M&S includes development of LRDR digital simulations and their integration into the BMDS, M&S architecture, and Verification, Validation, and Accreditation of LRDR models. 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 Situational Awareness capabilities.
