MPAR Symposium / Implementation Strategy

• FAA is committed to R&D funds to assess MPAR as a:

– Cost-effective backup to next-generation cooperative surveillance system

– Possible replacement for legacy weather radars

• NOAA has been funding the National Weather Radar Testbed at annual baseline rate

– NOAA in final stages of identifying additional funding beginning in FY10 for MPAR risk-reduction program

• From Under Secretary mtg on North American Air Defense

– DoD and DHS must take active role in assessing emerging approaches to improving the Nation’s surveillance capabilities, including MPAR

MPAR Program Status

5

Summary

• MPAR planning process has included federal agencies, academia, military laboratories, and radar industry

• Initial analysis indicates MPAR is technically feasible to meet multiple user needs

• Affordability issue can only be addressed through a managed risk-reduction R&D program

• Large cost of R&D effort for MPAR beyond scope of any one agency

– Requires interagency cooperation to succeed

• Now is the time to begin evaluation of MPAR
