Instrumentation radar has played a very significant role in testing and training for more than 50 years. Along with optics, it has been a major supplier of time space position information (TSPI). With the advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS), the need for instrumentation radar for TSPI has been called into question. Is radar still needed. Or can it be replaced by GPS. The members of the ETMO argue that radar is still needed. A study of requirements at over 25 test and training ranges has shown that radar, far from being passe', is needed more than ever. Radar is needed for TSPI on objects that cannot be instrumented for GPS. It is also needed for a variety of specialized measurements, including radar cross section (i.e., stealthiness), characterization of debris, and assessment of damage at intercept. This paper discusses the future needs of instrumentation radar and presents the radar roadmap (i.e., the plan) for satisfying those needs at the test, training, and operational ranges for 10, 20, and even 30 years into the future.
