IGF::OT::IGF TASK ORDER FOR THE UPGRADE OF AN/TPQ-50 RADARS TO PROVIDE A MULTI-MISSION RADAR CAPABILITY THAT CAN DETECT, TRACK, AND IDENTIFY UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS (UAS).

The Department of the Army is contracting with SRCTEC, LLC for $9,456,975.36 to upgrade AN/TPQ-50 multi-mission radars with enhanced capabilities to detect, track, and identify unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The AN/TPQ-50 is a lightweight L-band radar system that provides 360-degree surveillance and can simultaneously detect multiple threats, with the upgrade expanding its air surveillance range to over 35 kilometers to address emerging counter-UAS requirements. This procurement supports modernization of the Army's air defense capabilities, particularly for very short-range air defense (V-SHORAD) and counter-UAS missions in an increasingly contested airspace environment.
