Description
Description | The US Space Force plans to digitize six legacy ground-based radars, including five Upgraded Early Warning Radar (UEWR) sites and the AN/FPQ-16 Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack Characterization System (PARCS), to extend their service life, improve situational awareness, reduce maintenance costs, and address obsolescence. The upgrades will use open, nonproprietary systems and commercial off-the-shelf components to lower costs and risks. Initial operational capability is targeted for 2028 for UEWR sites and 2029 for PARCS, with full operational capability by 2030. |
