A, Terminal Radar (ASR) Program – ASR-11 – Technology Refresh, Segment 1, S03.02-04

Program Description

The ASR-11 Technology Refresh program replaces and upgrades obsolete ASR-11 Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and software to ensure the continued reliable and cost effective operation of the radar system through its designated lifecycle. This is an ongoing program to address obsolescence and maintenance issues and will be accomplished in separate sequential 5-year segments.

The ASR-11 Technology Refresh Segment 1 is well defined and provides increased functionality by replacing existing Signal Data Processors (SDP’s) with an Advanced Signal Data Processor (ASDP). The existing SDPs are 1980's technology, and are no longer in production. These SDPs do not have spare processor or memory capacity and no possibility for expanding their capacity. By coupling the ASDP modification with software improvements, four necessary ASR-11 upgrades identified during the In-Service Decision (ISD) on the technology refresh are completed.

The major objectives of the ASR-11 Technology Refresh Segment 1 are:

 Install production ready, form-fit function replacement kits for the SDP and eliminate the Low Overhead Array Processors.

 Use scalable hardware and software architecture to permit easy future growth with minimal cost and effort.  Address ASR-11 system In-Service Decision recommended actions including increasing memory and

processing capacity.

The ASR-11 Technology Refresh Segment 1 was approved in October 2008 and an In-Service Decision was made in January 2010. The funding will support the continued installation of these upgrades through FY 2014; and this activity will retrofit 68 systems in the FAA inventory with the ASDP modification kits. FY 2014 is the last year of funding for Technology Refresh Segment 1.

Alignment of Program to FAA Strategic Goal, Outcome, and Performance Metric

 FAA Outcome 3 – Air navigation infrastructure and associate systems are flexible, reliable, cost effective and secure.

 FAA Performance Metric 3 – Organizations throughout the agency will continue to implement cost efficiency initiatives. FY 2013 Target: 90 percent of targeted savings.

Relationship to Performance Metric

The ASR-11 Technology Refresh Segment 1 ASDP design reduces the total number of Line Replaceable Units (LRU's) required in the system. It will eliminate the need for four LRUs: pulse compressor, synchronizer Low Overhead Array Processors, and beam/ Sensitivity Time Constant cards. The ASDP design also reduces the total number of supported electronic cards for signal data processing in the ASR-11 system from 14 to 3, and the new architecture eliminates the proprietary custom backplane that constrained connectivity to the system. By reducing the number of LRUs, future Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs are reduced. Additionally, the entire architecture is scalable and it will accommodate any future software modifications.

Program Plans FY 2014 – Performance Output Goals

 Complete installation of ASR-11 retrofit kits at five sites by March 31, 2014.  Last site certified for operational use, 100% complete (68 sites). (APB milestone) Program Plans FY 2015-2018 – Performance Output Goals

B, Terminal Radar (ASR) Program – ASR-11 – Mobile Airport Surveillance Radar

(MASR), S03.02-06

Program Description

The Mobile Airport Surveillance Radar (MASR) is a terminal surveillance radar capability that can be moved from site to site to support radar relocations, temporary planned outages to accommodate installation of upgrades to an existing radar, and emergency operations when existing systems are damaged. This system includes both primary and secondary radar systems and will have the performance capabilities of existing systems. The program will be refurbishing two ASR-9 and two Mode S systems and will procure two mobile ASR-11 systems.

The MASR can be deployed quickly within known, short-duration timeframes and be compatible with all air traffic control towers (ATCT), Terminal Radar Approach Controls (TRACON), Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC), and their associated automation systems.

The MASR system architecture will support a reusable, service-oriented capability with an emphasis on providing the terminal surveillance service efficiently and quickly. The system will have interfaces for power, mechanical, data, and remote monitoring and control. It will be designed to function as an existing ASR-8, ASR-9 or ASR-11 terminal radar as needed and be interoperable with each of their associated automation interfaces.

Alignment of Program to FAA Strategic Goal, Outcome, and Performance Metric

 FAA Outcome 3 – Air navigation infrastructure and associate systems are flexible, reliable, cost effective and secure.

 FAA Performance Metric 2 – Maintain operational availability of the National Airspace System (NAS) at 99.7 percent through 2016.

Relationship to Performance Metric

The MASR investment will provide a capability that can be installed quickly to maintain operational availability at the goal levels during periods of planned or unplanned outages of terminal surveillance radars.
