Raytheon’s AN/SPY-6(V) Air and Missile Defense Radar has acquired and tracked multiple threat-representative targets simultaneously during its third dedicated flight test at the US Navy’s Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii.
The test proved AN/SPY-6(V) integrated air and missile defence performance against a short-range ballistic missile target and multiple anti-ship cruise missile targets.
During the test, the radar searched for, detected and tracked all targets from launch throughout their flights.
Tad Dickenson, AN/SPY-6(V) program director, Raytheon, said: ‘The speed, range, trajectory and complexity of multiple targets proved no match for AN/SPY-6 – it acquired and tracked them all.
‘It was truly gratifying for our government-Raytheon team to see the culmination of our engineering efforts in action, and achieve our third straight success.’
The AN/SPY-6(V) radar has demonstrated its performance against a range of singular and simultaneous live targets of increasing complexity, including integrated air and missile defence targets of opportunity, satellites and aircraft.
Airbus was awarded the Composante Spatiale Optique (CSO) contract at the end of 2010. This included an option for a third satellite, which was activated after Germany joined the programme in 2015.
