Description
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is seeking a prototype radar system to support missile defense flight testing and related missions. The system will be integrated into a ship-based platform and must be able to track multiple targets, collect data, and provide real-time and post-mission data products. The MDA is looking for a proven technology base with active production lines and a continuing sustainment infrastructure. The project will be executed in two phases: Phase I will focus on developing and delivering a full design for the proposed radar, while Phase II will involve the development, fabrication, and testing of the prototype system.
• The system must be able to operate in the X-band frequency range and have a field-of-view that meets the requirements outlined in the SPAIR Performance Specification.
• The system must be able to track multiple targets and collect data on their position, velocity, and other relevant parameters.
• The system must be able to provide real-time and post-mission data products, including metric and signature data.
• The system must be designed to be scalable and modular, with a focus on minimizing new subsystem and component development.
• The system must be able to operate in a maritime environment and be able to withstand the motions of a ship at sea.
