The goal of this document is to have an estimation of the upgrading cost in the case this project will be financed. Since at this level it is impossible the involvement of the electronics and electromechanical industries, the costs are to be accepted as a ROM (estimated cost with an uncertainty of +-10%) entry-level estimation. Three parallel passages have been reported, which include the upgrade of the receiving antenna, the development of software for the back-end and the installation of a transmitting system.STAMPAenMedicina Northern Cross Upgrade High Level Architecture: Medicina Radar System Architecture Cost AnalysisResearch reportFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_17 Instrumentation – telescopes, detectors and techniques
