Romania to get Lockheed Martin radars
Lockheed Martin has been awarded a contract to provide two TPS-77 radars to Romania, it announced on 22 February.
Lockheed Martin plans to add its new Digital Array Row Transceivers (DART) to the next-generation TPS-77 radars it will supply. The radar uses gallium nitride technology, which claims to reduce power consumption, lower life-cycle costs and extend the useful life of the radar.
The TPS-77 is the transportable version of the company’s three-dimensional air search radar FPS-117. The multi-role radar can be used for long range surveillance, unmanned aerial vehicle detection, low level flight surveillance, tactical ballistic missile warning, ground based air defence, maritime surveillance, border security and ground control intercept drug interdiction, among others.
Mark Mekker, director, surveillance radar, Lockheed Martin, said: ‘For over 20 years, Lockheed Martin and Romania have built a strong partnership to enhance Romania’s air surveillance and weather radar network. The feedback we receive from our ongoing collaborations with countries like Romania leads to the development of system enhancements, like DART. Our teams thrive on developing leading-edge technologies to meet our customers’ needs.’
