The US Navy has exercised an option with Raytheon for long-lead work to support the production of two AN/SPY-6(V) radar configuration variants.
Raytheon will prepare to produce the SPY-6(V)2 Rotator Radar and the SPY-6(V)3 Fixed Face Radar under the contract modification, with work set to be complete by June 2020.
The AN/SPY-6(V) is the US Navy's next generation integrated air and missile defence radar, designed to provide protection against air, surface and ballistic missile threats.
The scalable radar is built with individual building blocks called Radar Modular Assemblies (RMAs). Each RMA is a self-contained radar in a 2’x2’x2’ box, which can stack together to form any size array to fit the mission requirements of any ship.
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.
