James D.\u00a0Syring said earlier this year that sequestration-related\u00a0cuts would mean having to delay the fielding of the radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The radar is expected to be positioned in Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The schedule to get the radar in place is an aggressive one. Brad Hicks, a vice president of business development at Lockheed Martin, told Defense News the plan is for the radar to become operational\u00a0in the ground in Clear, Alaska, by the end of 2020. The schedule, he said, includes some margin to cope with potential issues, such as weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fast-paced schedule is also possible, Hicks explained, because Lockheed has driven some of the risk out of the system\u00a0by bringing\u00a0technology developed\u00a0to high\u00a0readiness levels through other programs into the long-range radar program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The radar Lockheed has been chosen to design is a ground-based sensor using Gallium Nitride (GaN)\u00a0technology that will provide 24-hour\u00a0coverage. The sensor\u00a0will increase the effectiveness of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense System by adding the capability to discriminate debris and decoys in order to identify lethal objects &#8220;to improve the probably of kill, or engagement success,&#8221; Hicks said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed used experience from programs like its Space Fence, a space surveillance sensor to be situated in the Kwajalein Atoll that will become operational in 2019 and\u00a0developed for the Air Force. Lockheed is also feeding technology expertise into the radar&#8217;s design from its Aegis ballistic missile\u00a0defense systems and Aegis Ashore sites, being built in Romania and Poland, as well as its Terminal High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) system, Hicks said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raytheon, an international leader in radar development and production, proposed an\u00a0LRDR solution that capitalizes on the company&#8217;s &#8220;extensive experience and proven performance across a broad spectrum of high-performing radar programs,&#8221; according to Keri Connors, a company spokeswoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On whether Raytheon would consider protesting the award, Connors added the company will attend the post-award debrief and &#8220;will assess the decision factors before making any such determination.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Northrop Grumman, according to spokesman Randy Belote, is &#8220;understandably disappointed&#8221; with the Missile Defense Agency&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We firmly believe that our offering provides the government with the best value, most affordable and technically innovative solution to help defend our nation from ballistic missile attacks,&#8221; Belote said, citing the company&#8217;s heritage in active electronically scanned array (AESA)\u00a0radar technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Belote would not comment on whether the company was considering filing a protest. He said the company is waiting for its debrief with the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email:\u00a0<a
