DESCRIPTION
This is a Request for Information (RFI) only, and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or any type of commitment by MDA. The MDA, Directorate for Test (DT) is conducting market research in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10 to determine interest in our requirement for a new instrumentation radar system. The results of this research will support the development of an acquisition strategy and help determine the capabilities of potential sources to provide a new Shipborne Phased Array Instrumentation Radar (SPAIR) to replace the X-Band Transportable Radar (XTR-1) on the SS Pacific Tracker (PT).
The SPAIR radar capability will perform missile defense flight test tracking functions as well as provide additional capabilities for autonomous acquisition, multiple target tracking, and enhanced data collection in MDA and Other Government Agency (OGA) flight tests and support other data collection needs across the Pacific broad ocean area. The radar is expected to employ an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) operating in either S-band or X-band. The radar is expected to utilize an azimuth/elevation mount providing hemispherical field-of-regard (FOR). Both full-field-of-view (FFOV) and limited field-of-view (LFOV) architectures are under consideration in order to achieve affordability. The radar shall be capable of tracking multiple targets within its FOR using combined electronic scanning and mechanical steering.
This RFI is intended to help MDA make informed acquisition decisions to:
