MDA seeks rapid-deploy 'FBM Radar Next' to replace AN/TPY-2

The U.S. Missile Defense Agency is soliciting prototype concepts for a more mobile successor to the AN/TPY-2 forward-based radar, emphasizing rapid setup/teardown, reduced signatures, remote operation, and survivability against missile/drone attack. It also highlights modular/distributed array concepts and interoperability with C2BMC, reflecting a shift toward dispersed, harder-to-target sensor architectures.
