Combat Systems Development & Support
Combat Systems Development & Support
The NASC Combat Systems Development and Support Sector comprehensively understands the framework, planning, and assessment necessary for developing comprehensive solutions in managing all aspects of employment, operations, design, sustainment and integration of Radar & Sensor Systems in support of Force Protection, Targeting, Counter Fire & Target Acquisition, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance functions.
With teams located throughout CONUS and OCONUS, the NASC Combat Systems Development and Support Sector provides comprehensive RADAR, Sensor, UAS Detection, Targeting and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, (C4ISR) expertise. This includes training and the curriculum development associated with all our programs.
NASC is adept and brings a wealth of current experience in the C4ISR functional areas throughout the DOTMLPF-P domains ranging from the integration of automated command and control systems with Radar sensors, targeting and fires processes and airspace coordination and de-confliction. This experience supports multi-domain targeting and combined arms as a function of the greater fires warfighting function.

Radar Support Group
NASC Radar Support Group personnel routinely conduct site surveys, site designs and installations, operations, and sustainment planning and management of critical life safety radar based system of systems at several diplomatic posts in high threat areas for the U. S. Department of State’s (DoS), Diplomatic Security Service (DSS).
The Radar Support Group deploys teams of highly skilled Radar Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) serving in multiple roles as RADAR operators/maintainers, Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) detection system operators, and Early Warning Command and Control (C2) operators as part of the DOS Sense & Warn program.
Radar Support Group Operations consist of the following highlights:
- RADAR and C2 SMEs operate and maintain a sensor network consisting of the Q-49 Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar (Q-49 LCMR) and Giraffe Agile Multi-Beam (G-AMB) Radar systems inter-connected via a communications network.
- SMEs conduct operations using the Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAADC2) system enabling force protection in the areas of air surveillance, issuance of critical life-safety early warning of a rocket, artillery, or mortar attack, and generation of near real time threat intelligence.
- NASC Radar Teams operate and monitor a C-UAS system to support emerging Diplomatic Security detection, monitoring, and reporting of threats. NASC Radar teams are adeptly skilled in the end-to-end management of all aspects of Radar employment, integration, operations and maintenance.
