In 2002, the Federal Committee for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research (FCMSSR) directed the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research (OFCM) to explore federal needs and potential benefits of a phased array radar capability that would meet the mission requirements of several key agencies. In June 2004, OFCM established the Joint Action Group for Phased Array Radar Project (JAG/PARP), which subsequently issued the report Federal Research and Development Needs and Priorities for Phased Array Radar (OFCM, 2006). In 2007, OFCM requested that the National Research Council (NRC) review federal planning for an MPAR system, including a review of the JAG/PARP report and all relevant subsequent planning activities. Appendix A provides a detailed Statement of Task for the NRC committee that carried out this review. |
