About this program

The Three-Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar Rapid Prototyping (3DELRR MTA RP) is a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) program focused on developing next-generation radar capabilities for the Department of Defense. This rapid prototyping initiative aims to replace the AN/TPS-75 radar system with enhanced detection, tracking, and air picture capabilities that will support the Joint Force Air Component Commander through the Theater Air Control System. The program operates under a Middle Tier Rapid Prototyping (MTRP) pathway, indicating an emphasis on accelerated capability delivery.

The program is primarily executed through two major cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contracts awarded by the Department of the Air Force. Lockheed Martin Corporation's Rotary and Mission Systems Division secured the larger contract valued at $938.4 million, while Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation was awarded a $4 million contract for radar prototyping services. Performance locations include Linthicum Heights, Maryland, with contract periods extending to 2027-2028. Key subcontractors on the Lockheed Martin contract include Rotron Incorporated, Electro Enterprises Inc., Amphenol Corp, and TTM Technologies, Inc., providing electronic components, connectors, cables, and printed circuit boards. Neither contract utilizes set-aside designations, and both employ cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures to manage risk during development.
