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 newly established Radar Division.  The ngRADAR project is a collaborative effort of NRAO at several locations and the Green Bank Observatory (GBO) in Green Bank, West Virginia, leveraging personnel across observatories.  Below are the ngRADAR team from CDL, GBO, NRAO's Domenici Science Operations Center (DSOC) of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) in Socorro, New Mexico, and NRAO's Headquarters, also in Charlottesville, Virginia.
