Radars are critical assets to protect the public and the Nation’s economic security. The current Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) program has been one of the most impactful weather technologies, providing critical information to support the saving of lives and livelihoods for more than 30 years. However, NEXRAD, deployed in the 1990s, has exceeded its original design life putting the Nation at increasing risk of radar outages and gaps in key areas.The Radar Next Program was established to ensure the National Weather Service can continue to deliver and improve upon critical weather data to support the Nation. The program aims to design and deploy the next-generation network of weather radars to ensure continuity of radar data, address current gaps in radar coverage, and enhance performance and capabilities.This town hall is intended to discuss the needs of the future radar solution. Following an update on the progress of Radar Next and the Broad Agency Announcement solicitation, the panel will feature a few radar users from across the weather enterprise to discuss their needs for the next radar system both to protect the public sectors through enhanced Impact-Based Decision Support Services and sectors of the economy that rely on radar data. This town hall will encourage an open dialogue with all participants to better understand what is needed from the future radar solution and how Radar Next intends to meet those needs.
