Lockheed Martin has announced that it will continue supplying the APY-9 radar for the US Navy’s E-2D Hawkeye aircraft programme under a contract from Northrop Grumman.
The contract is worth over $600 million for production of 24 additional APY-9 radars over the five years from 2021-2025.
The latest radar order will include Lockheed Martin’s new Advanced Radar Processor. The APY-9 radar is an Ultra High Frequency surveillance system that provides both mechanical and electronic scanning capabilities designed to detect smaller targets in greater numbers at longer range, particularly in coastal regions and over land.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
