The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $99.8M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $73.8M as actual total obligation authority — $26.0M below the request. 73.8 − 99.8 = -26.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — Counterfire Radars
This funding line supports the AN/TPQ-53 Counterfire target Acquisition Radar program, a key enabler of the Army Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) Modernization Priority. The AN/TPQ-53 is a highly mobile radar set that automatically detects, classifies, tracks, and locates the point of origin of projectiles fired from mortar, artillery, and rocket systems. It mitigates close combat radar coverage gaps by providing a 90 degree search sector (stare mode) as well as 360 degree coverage (rotating). The AN/TPQ-53 system incorporates Multi-Mission Radar (MMR) software into the system baseline, enabling air surveillance for Commander's situational awareness of UAS. The AN/TPQ-53 system interoperates with mission command systems to provide the maneuver commander increased counterfire radar flexibility, providing data to the Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAAD C2) node for the sense and warn force protection capability. The AN/TPQ-53 is provided to Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs), Field Artillery Brigades (FABs) and Division Artilleries (DIVARTYs) and serves as an enabler for systems requiring target in-flight updates. The AN/TPQ-53 Distributed Digital Receiver Exciter (DDREX) development began in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022. DDREX modernization addresses obsolescence and improves survivability in electronically contested environments. This effort builds upon Gallium Nitride (GaN), Signal Data Processor (SDP) 2.0, extended range (ER), electronic protection (EP), and secure contractor facilitization efforts. The program is upgrading to a digital architecture (hardware and software) to address emerging and evolving electronic attack threats by improving electronic protection and survivability capabilities via waveform diversity, spectrum agility, and broadening the operational bandwidth. Major development began in FY 2022, followed by developmental, live fire, and environmental qualification testing in FY 2025, with planned completion of the follow-on operational test in FY 2026. Starting in FY 2026, the program will procure DDREX kits for fielding in FY 2029.
Justification
Justification — Counterfire Radars
FY 2026 Modification-In-Service Procurement dollars in the amount of $40.526 million provides Distributed Digital Receiver Exciter (DDREX) kits procurement, interim contractor support (ICS) for fielded systems, and production & fielding support. In accordance with section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110 - 181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.

Related awards
Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →
Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.
| Recipient | PIID | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION | W15P7T12CC015 | high |
| LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION | W56KGY21F0006 | medium |
| LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION | W56KGY22F0001 | medium |
Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
Lobbying mentions
