Ground Based Radar Digitization (GBRD)

Notice ID:FA872325RB003-1

The U.S. Space Force is releasing a prototype proposal opportunity for the Ground Based Radar Digitization program, a critical modernization effort to upgrade eight globally positioned ground-based radars. The objective is to improve Space Domain Awareness, Missile Warning/Tracking, and Missile Defense by instituting a government-owned, modular open systems architecture. The government anticipates awarding multiple fixed-price Other Transaction Agreements in June 2026, with performance taking place at radar sites including UEWRs, PARCS, COBRA DANE, and the Eglin Site C-6 Radar. Offerors will operate within a single Authoritative Digital Ecosystem, competing on individual designs while collaborating on a common, government-owned baseline. No specific budget amount is mentioned in the description.

The U.S. Space Force is releasing a Request for Prototype Proposal for the Ground Based Radar Digitization program, a critical modernization effort to upgrade eight globally positioned ground-based radars. The objective is to improve Space Domain Awareness, Missile Warning/Tracking, and Missile Defense by instituting a government-owned, modular open systems architecture. The program will use a "compete and collaborate" model, awarding multiple fixed-price Other Transaction Agreements to offerors who will develop a common digital baseline. Performance will take place across eight global radar sites, including UEWRs, PARCS, COBRA DANE, and the Eglin Site C-6 Radar. Anticipated awards are expected in June 2026.

Ground Based Radar Digitization (GBRD)

Notice ID:FA872325RB003-1

The U.S. Space Force is seeking full solutions for the Ground Based Radar Digitization program to modernize eight globally positioned ground-based radars through a common, government-owned open architecture. The anticipated award date is June 2026. This effort will use a "compete and collaborate" model, awarding multiple fixed-price Other Transaction Agreements where selected offerors will develop individual designs while contributing to a shared architectural baseline within a single digital ecosystem. The program aims to improve Space Domain Awareness and mission effectiveness for missile warning, tracking, and defense. Eligible companies must have an approved DD Form 2345 to request access to the Bidder's Library for solicitation documents.
