Air Traffic System Branch (HBAA) will not pay respondents for information provided in response to this SS/RFI.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's (AFLCMC) Electronic Systems Directorate, Aerospace Management Systems Division (HBA), Air Traffic System Branch (HBAA), Air Traffic Control (ATC) Future Technology (AFT) Program Management Office (PMO), located at Hanscom Air Force Base (AFB), Massachusetts is requesting information from industry to identify companies having an existing radar system(s) to serve as an infill radar to mitigate wind turbine clutter and improve coverage in and around wind farms for air traffic control.
This initiative will extend the results of the Infill Radar Pilot Mitigation Program (PMP) conducted at Department of Defense (DoD) air traffic control (ATC) facilities that suffer from wind turbine clutter.
BACKGROUND OF WIND TURBINE CLUTTER INTERFERENCE:
Wind generation capacity increased from 934 Megawatts at the end of 2015 to 150.1 Gigawatts in April of 2024. This trend of rapid growth is expected to continue. Wind turbines are frequently developed into industrial-scale projects. Wind turbines present substantial issues for ATC radars because they are a source of stationary and moving clutter. The physical presence of the wind turbines provides stationary clutter, and more importantly, the blades of wind turbines can spin at velocities that mimic the Doppler returns from aircraft. These types of clutter can generate false plots, false tracks, and possibly dual tracks on air traffic control Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (...
