Sensis, Raytheon and Moog Solution to Meet Long Range Surveillance and Threat Detection Challenges of Today’s Expeditionary Forces

EAST SYRACUSE, N.Y., May 26 /PRNewswire/ — The team of Sensis Corporation, Raytheon Company and Moog Inc. was selected by the U.S. Air Force for the Three-Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar (3DELRR) program technology development phase. The Sensis-led team brings extensive radar system design, development, manufacturing, test and support experience to the 3DELRR program.

The U.S. Air Force’s 3DELRR program is a replacement program for the AN/TPS-75 radar. The primary mission of the 3DELRR is long-range surveillance, control of aircraft, and theater ballistic missile detection. The 3DELRR will provide air traffic controllers with a precise, real-time view of the surrounding airspace to conduct close control of individual aircraft under a wide range of environmental and operational conditions. In addition, 3DELRR will provide 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.

“The Sensis team’s proposal of an entirely new radar system from the ground-up means every facet of our solution is designed with only the 3DELRR’s requirements in mind,” said Dave Kovarik, vice president and general manager of Sensis Defense & Security Systems. “The program also follows the DoD’s acquisition strategy of the armed services working together on significant programs to realize the most cost-effective, technologically-sound solutions for our fighting forces.”

Sensis, as the prime contractor, is responsible for program management, Systems Engineering, Integration and Test, and the digital electronics, software and mechanical structures. The company is currently supporting the development and production of the Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) system, a new ground-based radar for the U.S. Marine Corps. The company has also modernized over one hundred 2D and 3D primary surveillance radars.

Raytheon Company’s Integrated Defense Systems has extensive experience in developing, testing and producing complex radar systems. For 3DELRR, Raytheon is responsible for the development and production of the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA).

Moog Inc.’s Space and Defense Group provides precision motion control solutions to a number of critical military programs. The Company’s Space and Defense Group is producing, testing and integrating 3DELRR’s motion control subsystems.
