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.
