The purpose of the Performance Specification for EISCAT_3D is to provide a framework for the technical activities within the EISCAT_3D Preparatory Phase project. The production of the Performance Specification is a tasks in Work Package 6.

The Performance Specification consists of three different documents:

Radar System Concept

Strategic overview of the EISCAT_3D instrument concept, design, planned performance characteristics, and capabilities.

Radar System Design

The detailed design of the EISCAT_3D radar system.

Engineering Specification

Specification of the engineering requirements for the EISCAT_3D system.

These are living documents that are updated regularly throughout the project.
