Planetary Radar Astronomy with Ground-Based Astrophysical Assets

Abstract
Planetary radar of near-Earth asteroids is vital to accomplish the federal mandates of tracking and characterization in the George E. Brown, Jr. Near-Earth Object Survey Act. Any loss of access to shared-use astrophysical assets (single-dish radio telescopes) would be detrimental to planetary defense on the timescale of the decadal survey.
