ANSR Market Survey Attachment 2-6-2023.docx

ATTACHMENT 1: Non-cooperative and Cooperative Surveillance QUESTION AND COMMENTS MATRIX Summary The FAA currently fields three types of Non-cooperative Airport Surveillance Radars (ASRs): ASR-8, ASR-9, and ASR-11. Each of these ASRs also uses a Cooperative Beacon Interrogator. To modernize its ASR assets, the FAA is conducting a Market Survey to assess industry capability to provide either a non-cooperative full-system replacement or non-cooperative component/subsystem replacements; the FAA and its DoD counterparts are also assessing industry capability to provide compatible cooperative equipment. Part 1 addresses full system replacement; Part 2 addresses component/subsystem replacement; Part 3 addresses cooperative surveillance systems. Please respond as requested.

ATTACHMENT 2: Preliminary Airspace Non-Cooperative Radar (ANSR) Functional Requirements

The sections below provide the functional requirements Coverage and Detection This section defines functional coverage and requirements for non-cooperative target surveillance services.

The ANSR shall (1) provide target coverage throughout the minimum service volume. The minimum service volume is generally defined as a 60 nautical mile (nmi) radius from the sensor with a ceiling of 24,000 feet.

The ANSR shall (2) detect the following target types within the service volume:

1. Commercial aircraft

2. Air cargo aircraft

3. DoD aircraft intended to receive non-cooperative based ATC services

4. General Aviation aircraft Operational Environment Characteristics The coverage and detection capabilities are influenced by system design and operational environmental factors.

Actively Surveil Non-Cooperative Aircraft The ANSR utilizes transmitted electromagnetic waves that reflect off airborne phenomena to detect airborne aircraft targets. The reflected energy is received at one or more locations and processed to determine the horizontal position of an aircraft target. The ANSR shall (3) include capabilities to discriminate among various airborne phenomena including aircraft, vehicles, birds, insects, weather, terrain clutter, wind turbines, and other environmental factors.

Transmit Electromagnetic Wave for Target Surveillance The ANSR shall (4) transmit electromagnetic waves on one or more authorized frequencies in the S-band (2.7 to 2.9 Gigahertz (GHz)) that provides the ability to detect all required targets in the defined service volume. (Active) The ANSR shall (4a) utilize transmissions from emitters of opportunity to detect targets in the defined service volume (Passive) Receive Target Reflected EW The ANSR shall (5) receive reflected energy returns from targets at one or more receiver locations.

Process Target Reflected EW The ANSR shall (6) process received reflected energy.

The ANSR shall (7) identify received reflected energy applicable to aircraft targets.

The ANSR shall (8) identify received reflected energy applicable to non-aircraft targets.

Calculate Horizontal Position of Targets The ANSR shall (9) calculate the horizontal position of targets from the received reflected energy returns.

Calculate Movement of Targets The ANSR shall (10) determine the radial movement of targets based on the Doppler characteristics of the reflected energy returns.
