Lockheed Martin completes production of its first TPY-4 radar, set to provide air defense radar to the U.S. Air Force and international customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TPY-4 radar is considered to be one of the most advanced and capable transportable or fixed air defense long-range radars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Lockheed Martin release, “The technology that enables TPY-4 provides the capability required for today\u2019s threats and unprecedented flexibility to adjust quickly to those that emerge over time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director of Ground Based Air Surveillance Radars at Lockheed Martin, Rick Herodes said that “Lockheed Martin is committed to investing in advanced defense technology, and the TPY-4 radar is a direct result of those investments. TPY-4 meets the needs of a rapidly changing battlefields, marked by technological growth and the emergence of increasingly challenging threats.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March this year, Lockheed Martin\u2019s first AN\/TPY-4 radar has been selected by the U.S. Air Force for the Three Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar (3DELRR) Rapid Prototyping program. The 3DELRR contract includes production options for 35 long-range radar systems, planned to reach Initial Operational Capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in July 2021, the AN\/TPY-4 radar received official nomenclature from the U.S. Government and Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) delivered the Platform Electronics Subsystem (PES) for the first TPY-4 radar. According to the company’s press release, “The Lockheed Martin and KDA partnership leverages Lockheed Martin\u2019s state of the art radar technology and KDA\u2019s experience in defense industry solutions, resulting in a next generation sensor that meets and exceeds current long range surveillance requirements.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n


TPY-4 Key Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TPY 4 is designed as a multi-mission system with the capability of tracking current and emerging threats. It can also be integrated into existing air defense systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can detect smaller, harder-to-detect next-generation threats in heavy clutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The radar operators can quickly pivot from one mission to another, enabling them to address threats in a contested environment. The radar will operate in extreme climates and environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system is digital at every element with the operation and performance-defined software enabling quick upgrades to combat emerging threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system is available in both fixed and transportable variants able to be transported via C-130, C-17, truck, rail, or helicopter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
