An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Multifunction Phased Array Radar (MPAR) was an experimental Doppler radar system that utilized phased array technology. MPAR could scan at angles as high as 60 degrees in elevation, and simultaneously track meteorological phenomena, biological flyers, non-cooperative aircraft, and air traffic. From 2003 through 2016, there was one operational MPAR within the mainland United States—a repurposed AN/SPY-1A radar set loaned to NOAA by the U.S. Navy. The MPAR was decommissioned and removed in 2016.

dbo:abstract
  • Le radar à commande de phase à multifonctions (en anglais Multifunction Phased Array Radar ou MPAR) est un système radar expérimental américain dérivé de la technologie du radar tridimensionnel à balayage électronique pour servir différents usagers civils. Il débuta par un radar expérimental aux États-Unis utilisant une antenne radar AN/SPY-1 déclassée de la Marine américaine et donnée à la NOAA en 2003. Le programme initial se termina en 2016 mais la phase 2 a débuté en 2019. Ce système peut balayer des angles allant de l'horizon à 60 degrés d'élévation et suivre simultanément les phénomènes météorologiques, les insectes et autres cibles biologiques, les aéronefs non coopératifs et le trafic aérien. Le projet fut lancé conjointement par l'agence de l'aviation civile FAA et l'agence NOAA pour graduellement de remplacer les radars TDWR et NEXRAD au profit de plusieurs centaines de MPAR à double polarisation.

NOAA and the FAA plan to eventually decommission their NEXRAD, TDWR and ASR radars in favor of several hundred phased array radars conceptually similar to MPAR. (en)
