Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System Recapitalization (JSTARS Recap) Aircraft and Communications Subsystems
The objective of this Market Research is to gain further understanding of the capabilities available to meet the requirements of the Aircraft and Communications Subsystems of the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System Recapitalization (JSTARS Recap) system. Gaining this understanding will allow the Government to finalize the acquisition strategy and plan for necessary risk reduction work.
The JSTARS Recap system will recapitalize the Joint STARS Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)/Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) Mission Area capability on a significantly smaller and more efficient airframe (business jet class) thereby reducing the life cycle costs of the weapon system. This implementation will utilize Open Systems Architecture (OSA) to ensure future competition, which will enable new capability to be added more quickly and more affordably throughout its lifecycle.
The JSTARS Recap system is an airborne Command and Control, Intelligence Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C2ISR) system designed to provide near real-time surveillance and targeting information on moving and stationary ground and surface (maritime) targets. The system also detects slow moving, rotary, and fixed-wing aircraft, and rotating antennas, and has the ability to observe dismounted (personnel on foot) targets. The radar possesses moving target indicator (MTI) and SAR modes. The system is designed for worldwide deployment and continuous 24 hour, all weather operation.
