Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC)
DARC will provide an affordable, capable, sensitive, & scalable next
generation dedicated deep space (GEO) radar capability
Increases ability to detect, track, identify and characterize objects
in deep space
DARC Technical Demonstration,
underway at White Sands Missile
Range (WSMR), is on schedule and
will begin risk reduction testing for
DARC Program in Oct 2020
Estimated value: ~$1B
Industry day #3: 3-4 November ‘20; will be held virtually. Please look
for updated information via Beta.SAM
Key milestone: RFP release late April 2021
