AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task Oriented RadarGround/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) prototype at Quantico Marine Base, September 2010
Country of originUnited States
Introduced2018 (Planned)
TypeShort/Medium Range Multi-Role Radar System
Frequency2–4 GHz
Other NamesG/ATOR
The AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) is the United States Marine Corps next generation Air Surveillance/Air Defense and Air Traffic Control (ATC) Radar. The mobile active electronically scanned arrayradar system is currently being developed by Northrop Grumman and was expected to reach initial operating capability in August 2016.[1]
Mission and Description[edit]The Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) is a single materiel solution for the mobile Multi-Role Radar System and Ground Weapons Locating Radar (GWLR) requirements. It is a three-dimensional, short/medium range multi-role radar designed to detect unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles, air breathing targets, rockets, artillery, and mortars. Airmail 3 6 55 – powerful minimal email client email. G/ATOR satisfies the warfighter's expeditionary needs across the Marine Air-Ground Task Force spectrum replacing five legacy radar systems with a single solution.[1][2] The five Marine Corps legacy radar systems being replaced by this multi-function capability include: the AN/TPS-63 (air defense), AN/TPS-73 (air-traffic control), AN/MPQ-62 (short range air defense), AN/TPQ-46 (counter-fire target acquisition) and UPS-3 (target tracking).[3] Additionally, it will augment the AN/TPS-59 long-range radar.[4]
The Program Executive Office (PEO), Land Systems Marine Corps is executing the G/ATOR program as an evolutionary acquisition program consisting of four capabilities, referred to as blocks.[1][4]
Block 1 will complete the primary material system acquisition and can support the short-range air defense and air surveillance mission, as well as provide an Air Defense/Surveillance Radar (AD/SR) capability to the MAGTF Commander.
Block 2 will include software to perform the missions of ground counter-battery/fire control (Ground Locating Weapons Radar).
Block 3 capabilities are not currently defined or resourced, and have been deferred indefinitely.
Block 4 will provide air traffic control capabilities (Expeditionary Airport Surveillance Radar).
G/ATOR System Configuration
G/ATOR provides real-time radar measurement data to the Tactical Air Operations Module, Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S), Composite Tracking Network, and Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System.[5]

Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) prototype at Quantico Marine Base, September 2010
Country of origin	United States
Introduced	2018 (Planned)
Type	Short/Medium Range Multi-Role Radar System
Frequency	2–4 GHz
Other Names	G/ATOR

The G/ATOR baseline system configuration consists of three subsystems:[4]
Communications Equipment Group (CEG). The CEG provides the ability to communicate with and control the radar and is mounted on a High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle.
Radar Equipment Group (REG). The REG consists of the phased-array radar mounted on an integrated trailer. The trailer is towed by the Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR).
Power Equipment Group (PEG). The PEG includes a 60-kilowatt generator and associated power cables mounted on a pallet. The generator pallet is carried by the MTVR.
Development[edit]Development of the G/ATOR began in September 2005 when the Marine Corps awarded a $7.9 million contract to Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems. Initial design requirements required planning for short-range air surveillance, counter-battery fire and target acquisition, and sensor networking. The requirement also required Block 1 to allow for incremental implementation of the following blocks without equipment or software redesign.[5]
In 2009, a $14 million cost overrun for the G/ATOR, attributed to requirements creep and increasing cost of scarce materials required in advanced electronic components. http://efejaof.xtgem.com/Blog/__xtblog_entry/19218146-how-to-install-linux-on-macbook-air#xt_blog. Cod heroes download. In 2012 the Marine Corps and Northrop Grumman began Block 2 development, beginning with upgrading the Block 1 equipment and software for performing GWLR requirements.[5][6]
The G/ATOR program obtained a successful Milestone C decision in March 2014. In October 2014, a 207.3 million dollar low rate initial production (LRIP) contract was awarded to Northrop Grumman for the first lot of four systems.[5][7] In March 2015, another contract worth $113 million was awarded to produce two additional systems to be delivered in October 2017.[6][8]
In September 2015, the Marine Corps awarded Northrop Grumman a $58.7 million contract to incorporate and test the GWLR mode for the G/ATOR.[9]
In September 2016, the Marine Corps awarded Northrop Grumman a $375 million contract for nine additional LRIP systems that will incorporate gallium nitride (GaN) technology.[10]
On June 10, 2019, the Marine Corps awarded Northrop Grumman a $958 million contract for full-rate production of 30 GaN G/ATOR Systems.[11]
A total of 57 G/ATOR systems are planned for procurement.[1][4]
On December 6, 2019, the Marine Corps awarded Northrop Grumman a $188 million contract for the firm-fixed-price portion of a previously-awarded contract (M67854-19-C-0043). This modification is for the purchase of six Gallium Nitride full-rate-production systems and associated travel in support of Program Executive Officer Land Systems, Quantico, Virginia.[12] Programs like sketch for windows.

Main characteristics[edit]Multipurpose Tracking & Surveillance Radar
Proven S-band (2–4 GHz), 3D Radar
Detects fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, cruise missiles, and UAVs
Performs ATC and fire finder roles
High mobility, transportability, and reliability
The entire system can be airlifted into an operational site by three CH-53E Super Stallion heavy-lift helicopters or MV-22B Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, or by a single C-130 transport.
The system is required to be set up on-site within 45 minutes.
Provides identification of friendly aircraft using a Telephonics UPX-44 IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) integrated with the main radar.
Nomenclature[edit]Per the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the nomenclature AN/TPS-80 is thus derived:
'AN/' indicating Army/Navy (Marines) -- a system nomenclature derived from the JETDS
'T' for 'transportable', indicating it is carried by, but not an integral part of, a vehicle (compare with 'V' for vehicle-mounted)
'P' indicating a RADAR
'S' is for Detecting, Range and Bearing, Search
'80' is the 80'th version of this family of TPS radars

Here we are! The time for the sponsor meeting comes and you have to summarize all the hard work done in the last long weeks in no more than one chart. 

The management does not have hours to devote to endless presentations while you would probably spend the whole day to elaborate why this or that action is mandatory to avoid a disaster.
Nope, the stark reality is that you have few minutes to deliver the right message to the right people in the right way and in the right moment to get support and have that bloody problem solved.
Easier said than done.

I will be sharing here few tips to smartly draw the attention of your audience, especially when you cannot infuse with a magic stick all your project background to people that have no clue about who you are and what's your project.
A basic approach, not intended to be exhaustive though, is to split the content of the presentation into 4 areas, which you can tailor as you prefer on condition to include:
1) a description of what's the scope of the project (WHAT)
2) a list of the milestones achieved (ACHIEVEMENTS)
3) a summary of the risks and the opps you have identified and you are managing with the team (SPOTLIGHT)
4) an outlook on the next milestones (WHAT'S NEXT).
To be noted that the above is good to set out the status of a project. In case the presentation is about a particular issue, an RCA, or any other problem to be stated, the scheme suggested here might change significantly.

1 Blocker 1 4 80 +Said that, as an example of a project 4-blocker, you may consider something similar to the below picture:


To go further into details and tune the chart, let's focus on some criteria:

Block #1 (left hand side, on the top):
Since you are in front of people who don't have your project background, it is worth to list down few references describing the scope of supply, when the contractor awarded the contract (if we are talking about a supply to be sold to an external customer and not about an investment of your company for a new asset or a new service) and your team gets started, when the project needs to deliver as per the schedule.
Wrap up in few bullets the above and support it with a nice picture, it will be instrumental to draw the attention of the audience and present the project magnitude.
What you have done so far. Project team achievements, financial results consolidated at the date of the review, main milestones reached. everything goes here.
That's an important section to show what you have been able accomplish so far.
This section must collect all the risks captured during previous risk reviews as a mirror in miniature of the project risk register.
1 Blocker 1 4 80 MgIf you want to deliver a message to the management about something that you probably cannot push enough without top-down support, that's the section to support your requests.
People are interested in the past, more into the future. Do not underestimate the content of the fourth area as it will support you when you are speaking about the future and the path forward. Carefully summarize the next steps and highlight the deadlines.
Here is an example with the above details shown in each section:




The bullets in each area indicate the minimum content to adequately highlight the status of the project, on the other hand it has to be noted that the addition of too many items may jeopardize the effectiveness of the presentation.
1 Blocker 1 4 80 InchIn essence, be concise and bring out the key points only.
