DASR is a terminal air traffic control radar system that replaces current analog systems with new digital technology. The DASR system is a key component of the National Airspace System (NAS) modernization. The Government nomenclature for the DASR radar is ASR-11. The ASR-11 is replacing existing ASR-7, ASR-8 and AN/GPN-12, -20, and -27 systems. These older radars, some over 20 years old, are being replaced to improve reliability, provide additional weather data, reduce maintenance costs, improve performance, and provide digital data to new digital automation systems for presentation on air traffic controller displays. •2. The complete or "turnkey" DASR system includes the hardware (radars), plus the site activation process, which includes: engineering and technical services for the conduct of site surveys, site designs, site construction, installation, System of Systems (SoS) optimization, and dismantlement of existing radars. •3. The DASR site activation process is a tightly integrated, highly specialized process, requiring detailed specific knowledge of the DASR's design and performance. It is essential that site activation tasks be conducted concurrently in order to successfully execute cost, schedule and performance of the DASR system. Scope •1. The purpose of this effort is to complete the procurement of Digital Airport Surveillance Radar (DASR) systems to include turnkey and non-turnkey production system deliveries, interface development, site preparation/construction for installation and radar dismantling, contractor services for site implementation and engineering support activities, program management support, and technical refresh of existing DASR systems already fielded. •2.
