- Gao: Missile Defense: Air Force Report to Congress
Included Information on the Capabilities, Operational Availability,
and Funding Plan for Cobra Dane, 2018.
DOD plans to invest over $278 million to operate, maintain, and
modernize its Cobra Dane radar system —which helps defend
against incoming missiles and tracks space objects such as
satellites and debris. These investments are needed because the
system has been operating for over 40 years, and key components are
obsolete.
The Air Force occasionally has to take Cobra Dane offline to
address failing parts or for routine maintenance, but we found that
DOD has a mobile radar system it can use when Cobra Dane is
scheduled to be offline.
We also found that DOD is planning to invest in new radar systems
that may reduce its reliance on Cobra Dane.
