NRAT - Mission

The Mission of the National Radar Analysis Team (NRAT) is to “Shorten the Crash to Rescue Time”, by using advanced technologies and data sources developed by the team.  The team is activated by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) when there is a report of a possible missing aircraft or crash.  Once the team is activated, analysis and actionable data can be provided in minutes; instead of days or hours before NRAT was created.  Our team strives for constant improvement in shortening the time and the quality of the analysis products as new technologies present themselves.
