GBRD is a L3Harris radar software modernization effort focused on delivering a common, open-interfaces baseline that supports Missile Warning, Missile Defense, and Space Domain Awareness missions through radar signal processing, radar simulation, tracking and correlation, and mission tasking and scheduling software. Using comprehensive knowledge of radar-processing algorithms, benchmark and truth-data evaluation, tracking logic, and mission-processing behavior, the role provides technical leadership for a team responsible for turning sensor inputs and mission demand into credible, resilient mission outputs. The team's mission is to mature the radar-centric backbone of GBRD across pulse-to-track processing, simulation and hardware-integrated test support, multi-mission prioritization and routing, and mission continuity during degraded operating conditions.</span></p> <p style="margin:0.0in;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"> </p> <p
