The Tri-Service Radar Symposium (TSRS) is the most prestigious and oldest continuous meeting of defense radar engineers, scientists, and technologists. The TSRS will celebrate its 72nd Symposium in 2026. The Symposium evolved from the Synthetic Aperture Radar Symposium, first held by the University of Michigan in 1955. The change from university to military sponsorship in the late 1960s expanded the event by presenting a wide range of radar technology programs that span research and development through currently fielded systems of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. It is the only venue that specifically concentrates on classified and sensitive radar technology and development. Chairmanship rotates yearly among the Army, Navy, and Air Force; the 2026 Symposium is being coordinated and led by the Navy. This rotation synergistically benefits the services, the broader Government, and Department of Defense (DoD) contractors through peer interactions that enhance the quality of work and stimulate creativity by sharing ideas and progress across services and corporate organizational boundaries. Over the years, participation has grown to include industry and academic partners, with the TSRS becoming a truly integrated community event.
