AI Contract Overview

The Three-Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar (3DELRR) contract aims to develop a replacement for the AN/TPS-75 radar as the primary long-range, ground-based sensor used by the United States Air Force. This system is intended to enhance detection, identification, tracking, and reporting of aircraft and missiles to support the Joint Forces Air Component Commander through the Ground Theater Air Control System. The 3DELRR will provide long-range surveillance capabilities, air traffic control, and theater ballistic missile detection, delivering a precise, real-time air picture that enables close control of individual aircraft across diverse environmental and operational conditions. In addition to improving aircraft tracking, the 3DELRR will significantly enhance theater missile defense operations by detecting, tracking, and disseminating missile information to command and control centers for timely warning and engagement. The radar will supply critical trajectory data, including launch and impact locations, supporting joint targeting processes. Unlike current systems, the 3DELRR will address shortcomings related to detecting highly maneuverable, small radar cross-section targets and classifying non-cooperative aircraft. It will also resolve many of the sustainability and maintenance challenges experienced with the existing radar, ensuring improved operational readiness and reliability. The solicitation was posted in August 2008, with contract specialists Elizabeth Damato and Procuring Contracting Officer Stephen Smith serving as points of contact.

Full Description

The Three-Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar (3DELRR) is required to replace the AN/TPS-75 radar as the principal USAF long-range, ground-based sensor for detecting, identifying, tracking, and reporting aircraft and missiles in support of the Joint Forces Air Component Commander through the Ground Theater Air Control System. The primary mission of the 3DELRR will be to provide long-range surveillance, control of aircraft, and theater ballistic missile detection. The 3DELRR will provide air controllers with a precise, real-time air picture of sufficient quality to conduct close control of individual aircraft under a wide range of environmental and operational conditions. In the case of theater missile defense operations, the new radar will have the capability to detect, track, and disseminate target information to respective command and control nodes such as the USAF Control and Reporting Center to disseminate for warning and engagement. Similarly, the joint targeting process will benefit from trajectory information provided by the 3DELRR, which will include launch and impact location. The 3DELRR will correct current radar system shortfalls by providing the capability to detect and report highly maneuverable, small radar cross section targets as well as classify and determine the type of a non-cooperative aircraft. It will also mitigate most of the sustainability and maintainability concerns which plague the current system.
