ASR-11
The correct acronym for Digital Air Surveillance Radar is DASR. The ASR-11 is an upgraded, digital replacement radar for the older ASR-7 and some ASR-8 radar systems. It is not a more advanced version of the ASR-9. The ASR-9 is still in use at all of the large major airports in the USA. The ASR-11 was deployed to several medium and lower density airports in the country and all DoD airports. The remaining ASR-8 systems are being digitized to operate with Terminal Automation Modernization and Replacement (TAMR) program. Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) is the automation system that takes radar data input and places that information (aircraft identification, altitude, ground speed, type aircraft, etc.) into the individual aircraft data blocks. STARS continuously updates data/position of each aircraft and follows them as they transition through the area of radar coverage. STARS also entails new state of the art radar scopes or displays as part of the installation.
