AMDR consists of an S-band radar, an X-band radar
and a Radar Suite Controller. AMDR-S is a new development integrated
air and missile defense radar designed for long range detection and
engagement of advanced threats. The X-band radar is an existing horizon-search
radar. The RSC provides S- and X-band radar resource management, coordination
and interface to the Aegis combat system.
Under the contract, Raytheon will build, integrate and test the AMDR-S
and RSC Engineering Development Models (EDMs). For the ship sets covered
under this contract, the AMDR suite will integrate with the existing
AN/SPQ-9B X-band radar. The base contract begins with design work leading
to Preliminary Design Review and culminates with system acceptance of
the AMDR-S and RSC engineering development models at the end of testing.
