Summary
This industry day flyer for the ground based radar digitization (gbrd) program is organized by the u.s. space force (ussf) program executive office.

the event is scheduled for august 8, 2025, from 0800 to 1500 hours at the innovation hub in colorado springs, co. The primary audience includes department of defense (dod) members and industry representatives who are knowledgeable about phased array radar systems and modernization efforts.

the gbrd initiative aims to modernize legacy radar systems, specifically six sites (five upgraded early warning radars and one perimeter acquisition radar attack characterization system), to enhance missile warning, defense, tracking capabilities, and space domain awareness.

key objectives of the gbrd program include digitizing radar systems to improve performance metrics such as tracking capacity and object classification while addressing sustainment challenges and obsolescence issues.

the ussf is particularly interested in solutions that utilize open system architectures to avoid vendor lock-in, leverage commercial off-the-shelf (cots) technology to minimize risks and costs, and incorporate existing digital receiver technologies. The acquisition strategy is still being developed but may involve a middle tier acquisition pathway or other transaction authority for prototyping initial sites.

the agenda for the industry day includes an overview of the gbrd program, breakout group discussions with program leadership for industry interviews, and opportunities for attendees to provide input on the request for information (rfi) development process.

attendees are encouraged to rsvp by august 1, 2025, for individual interviews with program representatives. The event aims to foster collaboration between dod and industry stakeholders while ensuring alignment with recent industry developments and program requirements.
