The ngRadar Project Office

The ngRadar Project Office is based at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) Central Development Laboratory (CDL) in Charlottesville, Virginia, under the Radar Division.  The ngRadar project is a collaborative effort of Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI), manager of NRAO, and industry partners Raytheon, an RTX business.  NRAO leverages personnel across observatories and centers, including CDL, NRAO Headquarters also in Charlottesville, Virginia, the Green Bank Observatory (GBO) in Green Bank, West Virginia, and the Domenici Science Operations Center (DSOC) of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) in Socorro, New Mexico.  Below are the ngRADAR team from NRAO Headquarters, CDL, GBO, and DSOC.  NRAO is a facility of the National Science Foundation (NSF) operated under cooperative agreement by AUI.  Part of this work is supported by NSF Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure-1 award 2131866 to AUI.
