  1. Multi-function Phased Array Radar (MPAR) Concept of Operations (CONOPS) Status

  2. Accomplishments • Working Group convened on 24 July at Silver Spring • Validated/Refined CONOPS Purpose • Established document outline • Tailored from FAA’s SEM • Identified Scope (system verses agency service provider) • Defined contents of Sections/Subsections • Began assigning authors and writing sections/subsections

  3. CONOPS Purpose • Internal • Guide for phased array radar R&D • Tool to request funding for R&D • Provides framework for the development and/or validation of future system requirements, architecture, and performance • External • Tool to spread phased array technology awareness to potential stakeholders/users • Tool to establish agency/industry partnership in the establishment of an R&D program

  4. Outline/Content/Scope - Decisions • Document will be bound by the system interfaces (i.e., subsystems and internal/external interfaces) • Concept will discuss data/products that are produced and disseminated from the system and the input controls • Generic references will be made to End-users/Service Providers, however, details will be provided in addendums as required at a later date. • Attempt will be made to make the document non-system specific where possible. However, to extol the benefits of the technology, it will sometimes be necessary to talk specifics • “Living” document that will be modified to support the program phase

  5. CONOPS Scope Extended Scope Other Agency Enterprise Services Data Processing Systems Data Processing Systems Decision Support Tools Radar Control, Logic & Processing SWIM GIG Enterprise Services Decision Support Tools Data Processing Systems Decision Support Tools Automation System (ADS-B Track correl.) Numerical Weather Prediction Data Assimilation Decision Support Tools Decision Support Tools Decision Support Tools

  6. Issues/Questions • Limited resource availability within working group • Funding – available to support CONOPS development (e.g., SMEs)? • Effort is larger than originally planned (CONOPS effort for system of this scale can require 5-10 people for a year) • Function allocation unknown (e.g., will the system be required to track cruise missiles or detect wake vortices)

  7. Plans • Continue assignment of subsections • Continue populating subsection • Identify resource needs (e.g., SMEs) and authors • Continue developing operational scenarios • Schedule next Working Group meeting (November?)

  8. Schedule • Document Working Draft - October 2007 Preliminary – January 2007 Final - ? • Working Group Meeting • October/November 207
