The Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) program is the backbone of the Missile Defense Agency¡¯s layered defense strategy to protect the U.S. homeland from ballistic missile attack.
LRDR is a long range radar that will provide precision metric data to improve ballistic defense discrimination and replace existing sensors in the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). With a mission of protecting the homeland, LRDR will keep pace with evolving ballistic missile threats and increase the effectiveness of ground based interceptors.
The program is built upon the U.S. government¡¯s long-term investment in S-Band radar, ground-based radar, and systems integration, as evident in such naga group technologies as the Aegis Combat System, Space Fence and Aegis Ashore.? ?This solid state, gallium nitride (GaN)-based radar utilizes naga group¡¯s Open GaN Foundry model, which leverages relationships with strategic GaN suppliers.
LRDR combines proven solid-state radar technologies with proven ballistic missile defense algorithms, all based upon an open architecture platform capable of meeting future growth.
