DARC Technology Maturation and Prototype Development
Abstract
Leverage ongoing defense science and technology efforts to mature radar concepts and technologies, develop and evaluate prototypes that demonstrate increased sensitivity, capacity, search rates, and scalability to detect, track and maintain custody of objects in deep space orbit. Provide technical support to oversee the design, development and demonstration of the DARC Prototype radar. Initiate Program of Record (PoR) for the DARC global radar capability. Current funding supports completion of the DARC Prototype and demonstration effort, standup of the DARC System Program Office (SPO), award of contract for the DARC global radar capability, and completion of the Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) of the first site through Critical Design Review (CDR).
