Ground Based Radar Digitization (GBRD)
DEPT OF DEFENSE
About this opportunity
The U.S. Space Force is modernizing critical missile defense radars, including five Upgraded Early Warning Radars (UEWR) and the Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack Characterization System (PARCS), through the Ground-Based Radar Digitization (GBRD) Program. These aging systems are nearing obsolescence, necessitating technological upgrades. GBRD aims to digitize these radars for enhanced battlespace awareness, reduced sustainment costs, and resolution of obsolescence challenges. Using a Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping acquisition pathway approach, GBRD will first prototype solutions at two sites (one UEWR and PARCS) before proceeding with Rapid Fielding production for the remaining UEWR locations. This strategy enables agile development and rapid deployment of modernized capa...
