## Description

1\.1\. In order to support and enhance UK capability to identify, track and characterise satellites in deep space orbits \(e\.g\. Geostationary Earth Orbit \[GEO\] and similar environments\), Dstl requires a programme of work to study and develop an active ground based radar optimised for deep space\. 1\.2\. This statement of work covers Phase 1 of a Technical Demonstrator Programme \(TDP\) for a UK Deep Space Radar \(DSR\) to work towards an Initial Operating Capability \(IOC\)\. 1\.3\. Dstl has identified the following packages of work as being required: • Deliver a detailed analysis of UK requirements relevant to GEO SDA in the form of a System Requirements Document \(SRD\) • Deliver a study into deep space radar concepts designed to meet the UK requirements identified by the above analysis \(SRD\)\. • Deliver summary and conclusions for Phase 1 plus costed Options e\.g\. demonstration and de-risking of key techniques or capabilities \(see WP3\)\.
