自2008年以来，科罗拉多州立大学CSU-CHILL国家雷达设施和国家大气研究中心S-Pol雷达设施的工作人员在国家科学基金会的指导下，一直在制定一项计划，以更紧密地结合两个雷达的架构，以便两个设施的操作，开发，维护和管理将变得更加有效。最初，雷达小组专注于采用通用的软件和硬件结构，包括天线控制、雷达过程控制、信号处理、校准和数据显示能力。这些共同的结构使两种雷达在操作上更加精简，从而很容易实现共享开发。这种联合活动范例的另一个亮点是前线作战网络试验台（Front）。共同的流线型基础设施使这些系统紧密联网，形成实验基础设施的锚点。FRONT由S-Pol、CSU-CHILL和CSUPawnee s波段雷达组成，以及附近的NEXRAD雷达，为社区带来了新的观测能力。FRONT任务的一个重要方面是将S-Pol转移到Weld County的一个新的站点，称为Firestone站点（靠近Weld County公路18和19的十字路口），以创建双多普勒、双极化雷达配置。计划将NEXRADs KFTG（丹佛机场）和KCYS（夏延）的雷达数据与CSU-CHILL， S-Pol和波尼（位于科罗拉多州纳恩附近）数据集成
Since 2008 the personnel of the Colorado State University CSU-CHILL National Radar Facility and the National Center for Atmospheric Research S-Pol Radar Facility have been developing, with guidance from the National Science Foundation, a plan to more closely align the two radar’s architectures so that operation, development, maintenance and management of the two facilities would become more efficient. Initially, the radar groups focused on adopting common software and hardware structures including antenna control, radar process control, signal processing, calibration, and data display capabilities. These common structures allow the two radars to be more streamlined in their operation, which easily enables shared development. Another highlight of this joint activity paradigm is the Front Range Operational Network Testbed (FRONT). The common streamlined infrastructure enables close networking of these systems forming the anchor points of an experimental infrastructure. FRONT, formed by S-Pol, CSU-CHILL and CSUPawnee S-band radars, along with nearby NEXRAD radars, brings a new observational capability to the community. An important aspect of the envisioned FRONT mission is moving S-Pol to a new site in Weld County, called the Firestone Site (near the intersection of Weld County Roads 18 and 19), in order to create a dual-Doppler, dualpolarization radar configuration. It is planned that radar data from the NEXRADs KFTG (Denver Airport) and KCYS (Cheyenne) will be integrated with CSU-CHILL, S-Pol and Pawnee (located near Nunn, CO) data thereby
