29 January 2008 MPAR CONOPS An Update
ACTION ITEM 2007-2.3 Using NGATS CONOPS as a model, develop an MPAR CONOPS rough draft. OPR: OFCM w/CONOPS Development Team Suspense: 31 July 2007 Re-suspense: 30 Nov 07 STATUS: Ongoing. CONOPs Team meets weekly, but is hampered by other high-priority tasks and inability to devote full-time expertise to the task. MPAR CONOPS - Purpose

CONOPS will be a high-level overview • -- Avoids system specifics; these will come with detailed concept • development and after engineering trades have been explored • -- Outlines enduring functions and basic operator-system relationships • inherent in an adaptively scanning phased array radar • - Living document • Scenario based • -- Depicts notional MPAR’s capability to respond to rapidly evolving • stressfull tactical situations • -- Scenarios developed so far include a severe convective outbreak and • a highjacked noncooperative aircraft flying in the NAS • -- Each scenario illustrates MPAR’s seamless transition from broad-area • surveillance mode to concurrent tracking mode MPAR CONOPS - Methodology
