Abstract
The Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) installed on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) core satellite is being developed by JAXA and NICT. This paper describes objectives, technical performance, resource allocation, preliminary design, development model test, critical design and proto-flight test (PFT) of the DPR instrument. The DPR system PFT will be completed in 2011. After completion of all PFT, the DPR instrument will be verified as a space borne radar.
