Ground Based Radar Digitization (GBRD)

The United States Space Force (USSF) is seeking information from industry regarding the modernization of Ground Based Radars (GBR) under the Ground Based Radar Digitization Plus (GBRD+) program. The program aims to digitize legacy radar systems to enhance battlespace situational awareness, reduce sustainment costs, and address obsolescence issues. The USSF is particularly interested in solutions that leverage open system, non-proprietary architectures, utilize Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology, and incorporate existing digital receiver technology. • The program will digitize eight radar sites to improve Space Domain Awareness (SDA) capabilities and add Missile Defense mission to PARCS. • The acquisition strategy for this program is still under development but is considering a Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) pathway to accelerate program execution. • The USSF is seeking industry input in areas such as technical capabilities, sustainment strategies, contracting approaches, and industry collaboration. • Respondents are requested to provide information on their company overview, technical solutions, sustainment and lifecycle management, contracting recommendations, schedule and cost estimates, and non-traditional contractor engagement.
