MDA pursuing mobile radar to detect and track hypersonic missiles, other advanced threats

The Missile Defense Agency issued a presolicitation Monday for a new highly mobile, rapidly deployable sensor system that could help the U.S. military detect and track hypersonic missiles and other advanced airborne threats. The Forward-Based Mode (FBM) Radar Next initiative is being spearheaded by MDA’s Mobile Land-Based Sensors Project Office, which aims to prototype the technology. Notably, officials want to create a system that can be quickl…

MDA seeks industry prototypes for mobile Forward Based Mode Radar Next

The Missile Defense Agency posted a pre-solicitation notice outlining plans to prototype a new mobile radar, Forward Based Mode (FBM) Radar Next, intended to track and discriminate ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missile threats from rapidly relocatable forward positions. The Aug. 10 notice, issued by the agency’s Mobile Land-Based Sensors Project Office, states MDA may pursue a “non-competitive follow-on production contract or transaction,” wi…
