The United States Radar Program Office is a proposed United States government office announced by the United States Senate Committee on Appropriations on July 17, 2025, amid negotiations for the 2026 United States federal budget. The proposed office is to be housed under the National Weather Service (NWS). This proposal comes amid staffing cuts and budget cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In the proposed federal budget bill, The Senate Appropriations Committee "directs NWS to establish a Radar Program Office to study and develop a plan for the impending recapitalization of the Nation’s weather radar system. The plan shall include an analysis of technologies, as well as alternative architectures, including purchasing radar data as a commercial service". [1]
