Homeland Defense Radars (HDR)

The Homeland Defense Radars (HDR) Master IDIQ is a multiple-award contract vehicle administered by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) focused on developing and deploying radar systems for ballistic missile defense. The contract supports the broader Missile Defense Agency mission of creating a layered Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) to defend the United States and its allies from ballistic missile attacks across all ranges and flight phases. The primary objective of the HDR contract is to provide persistent midcourse missile defense discrimination capabilities through advanced radar technologies and related technical services.

Task orders under this IDIQ have primarily been awarded to major defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, and Raytheon Company, with contract values ranging from approximately $250,000 to $723.9 million. The task orders typically involve technical studies, radar system development, integration, and sustainment efforts, predominantly supporting Pacific region defense requirements. The contract vehicles employ varied pricing structures, including fixed-price incentive and cost-plus-fixed-fee models, with performance locations primarily in New Jersey and supporting Pacific theater defense initiatives. None of the reviewed task orders utilized small business set-asides, and the contracts consistently support the Missile Defense Agency's strategic defense infrastructure development. Completion dates for these task orders generally span from several months to several years, with the longest reviewed contract extending to September 30, 2027.
