Title of Event: Ground Based Radar Digitization - On-Site Site Visit Industry Day
Audience: Members of the USSF and Industry Representatives
When: January 7, 2026, 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Where: Cape Cod Space Force Station, 71 Pave Paws Rd, Bourne, MA 02542
Background. The U.S. Space Force maintains several Upgraded Early Warning Radars (UEWRs) and the Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack Characterization System (PARCS). These radars are capable of detecting ballistic missile attacks and conducting general space surveillance and satellite tracking. They are located across both the United States and United States European Command.
The GBR modernization effort supports the National Defense Strategy by continuing missile warning (MW), missile defense (MD), missile tracking (MT), and improving space domain awareness (SDA) capabilities. The program will:
Digitize six radar sites (5x UEWR, 1x PARCS) to improve space domain awareness capabilities and address sustainment challenges and obsolescence.
Enhance radar performance, including increased tracking capacity, extended range, and improved object classification.
Transition to a government-owned, modular open system architecture with a high level of commonality between UEWR and PARCS back ends
At the front-end, high-power Radio Frequency (RF) components will be retained as well as the communications paths out of the radars
Purpose. United States Space Force (USSF) is seeking information from industry regarding the modernization of Ground Based Radars (GBR) under GBRD. This effort aims to digitize legacy radar systems to enhance battlespace situational awareness, reduce sustainment costs, and address obsolescence issues. The USSF is particularly interested in solutions that:
Leverage open system, non-proprietary architectures to ensure future scalability and avoid vendor lock.
Utilize Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology to minimize development risks and...
