Telephonics radar for 74K aerostat
Lockheed Martin has completed the integration of a Telephonics RDR-1700B radar onto the 74K aerostat for land and sea missions.
The achievement follows successful integration of a number of payloads including radar sensors from Telephonics, Leonardo and Northrop Grumman as well as EO/IR cameras from L-3 Wescam.
The 74K aerostat system, with integrated multi-mission payloads, supports forces operating in harsh and challenging environments. It leverages a wide-area, secure communications backbone for the integration of threat reporting from multiple available sensor assets.
The 74K aerostat supports automated interoperability between tactical and theatre surveillance assets and dissemination of operational threat data to assist the interdiction of hostile fires and unconventional threats.
Jerry Mamrol, VP of navigation, surveillance and unmanned systems for Lockheed Martin, said: ‘The integration of the Telephonics radar showcases our continued commitment to exploring the latest technologies as part of our aerostat systems. It allows for multi-domain, modular and open architecture capabilities for faster, more cost-effective development efforts.’
