Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR)
Abstract
The LRDR program includes requirement development activities associated with systems engineering, software development, discrimination improvements, design reviews, testing, and modeling and simulation efforts for radar development. Efforts include LRDR site activation and preparation of site infrastructure for construction activities. The program will develop and integrate C2BMC systems for LRDR functionality. The program will develop, maintain, and deliver radar software Increment 6B.1 and establish the installation verification and validation lab for testing of operational software. The program includes purchasing, manufacturing, integrating and testing of radar materials. This program will also establish the operational baseline, initiate radar operations and communication, and initiate sustainment operations. The program includes logistics management, reliability, availability, maintainability efforts, data management, and operations support for the LRDR program office. This project also includes Missile Defense System Increment 6C/7 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, including hypersonic missile threats, increase support to SDA and SOI, updates to current cybersecurity requirements, and implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce life cycle operating costs. This project also includes Missile Defense System Increment 10 software upgrades to LRDR to improve capabilities against advanced threats, interface modifications to synchronize and verify requirements with the Next Generation Interceptor, and post Transition and Transfer radar sustainment costs. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
