<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">This online workshop will conduct interactive discussions to both define a vision that incorporates community views on the most important objectives for future incoherent
scatter (IS) radar facilities and to develop a strategy for pursuing them. The ultimate goal of this workshop is to generate a draft program plan for delivery to U.S. NSF Geospace leadership and the forthcoming US NASEM Decadal Survey. The plan will address
key scientific and technical aspects of future IS radar facilities including those key scientific frontier areas where IS radar techniques and observations are
