Long Range Discrim Radar (LRDR)
Abstract
This project includes the development of a Configuration 1 Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) which will provide an improved persistent midcourse MDS discrimination capability in the Pacific sensor architecture. The initial fielding of the Configuration 1 LRDR capability will be completed by FY 2022 and operational fielding of LRDR will be completed when added to the Operational Capacity Baseline (OCB) in late FY 2022 leading to Operational Acceptance (OA) by the United States Space Force (USSF) in FY 2023. 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, system engineering, software development, software Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V), qualification testing, developmental testing support, Modeling and Simulation (M&S), and acquisition sustainment. M&S includes development of LRDR digital simulations and their integration into the MDS, M&S architecture, and Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) of LRDR models. The USSF will leverage the LRDR inherent capabilities to augment ancillary missions including Space Object Identification and Space Situational Awareness. This project also includes Configuration 2 software upgrades. Configuration 2 represents MDS Increment 6C/7 which includes software upgrades to LRDR to further verify and improve discrimination techniques and capability, verify and improve electronic protection techniques and capability, expand capability to a broader spectrum of threats, increase support to Space Domain Awareness and Space Object Identification, and implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce life cycle operating costs. Technical Capability Declaration for Configuration 2 is planned for FY 2024.
