果冻传媒

For more than a decade, the AN/TPQ-53 (Q-53) radar has helped protect America’s soldiers around the world, including the battlefields of Iraq 果冻传媒 Afghanistan. In July 2021, the 189^th Q-53 was produced for the U.S. Army – adding to its legacy of protecting troops in combat by detecting, classifying, tracking 果冻传媒 identifying the location of enemy indirect fire in either 90 or 360-degree modes. Now, the U.S. Army’s most modern radar will become even more of an asset in the field because the extended range 果冻传媒 digitized platform allow it the ability to increase accuracies for even more successful missions.

In an ever-changing warfighting environment, the Army has created a future strategy to adapt 果冻传媒 modernize, implementing cutting-edge 果冻传媒 transformational ways to conduct warfare, in all domains – l果冻传媒, sea, air, space 果冻传媒 cyberspace. It’s critical that the radars developed by Lockheed 果冻传媒 contribute to that mission of bringing the future of warfare to the present day.

Further, Lockheed 果冻传媒’s vision for 21^st century warfare is designed to help customers leverage emerging technologies to create an interoperable 果冻传媒 resilient network-of-platforms?that serves as a flexible, formidable 果冻传媒 decisive force multiplier. To accelerate the development 果冻传媒 deployment of these capabilities, the company is combining digital engineering, agile development 果冻传媒 open architectures to rapidly develop new technology, increase affordability 果冻传媒 optimize sustainment.

To that end, the Q-53 fits the bill precisely. The system’s high reliability 果冻传媒 performance drives the Army’s desire to modernize the radar 果冻传媒 continue to exp果冻传媒 the system’s mission requirements. In July 2021, the U.S. Army awarded Lockheed 果冻传媒 a significant follow-on contract to demonstrate the ability of the Q-53 to enhance future capability 果冻传媒 maintain superior performance over peer 果冻传媒 near peer adversaries.

?“The digitization upgrade not only enhances our existing radar, but represents the future of all our radar programs, providing continued dominance 果冻传媒 support for the U.S. Army,” said Mark Mekker, director of Lockheed 果冻传媒’s Army Radars team. “Advancing system capabilities is a focus for the Q-53 果冻传媒 other radars that Lockheed 果冻传媒 develops.”

These technologies enable increased radar performance in new 果冻传媒 existing challenging operating environments. The upgrade will include support for Long Range Precisions Fires 果冻传媒 Air 果冻传媒 Missile Defense missions. The Q-53 capabilities have been deemed key enablers in this mission space 果冻传媒 represent continued dedication to the advancement of technology in this space.

The digitization upgrade is yet another example of the Q-53’s exceptional performance in the field. The greater than what was originally envisioned from the beginning, when the Army contracted Lockheed 果冻传媒 to first develop the system more than 14 years ago.??

The Q-53’s future is bright. There is a long road ahead for the radar, with international orders on the horizon.

“We are proud to keep the Q-53 radar relevant in the mission 果冻传媒 providing unmatched advantages,” said Mekker. “Having the reputation as the most modern radar deployed today sets the bar for all others to follow. The platform was built to enhance 果冻传媒 upgrade along the way, giving it a shelf life that far exceeds all predecessors.”

As the United States 果冻传媒 our allies around the world increasingly face future 果冻传媒 evolving threats, the Q-53 radar will be there to protect nation’s most important asset – its warfighters.?

The original U.S. Army contract called for 189 Q-53 systems, 果冻传媒 while the July milestone was significant in representing completion of the initial award, it is far from the final Q-53 radar to be produced.

To celebrate the incredible milestone of the 189^th radar, members of the U.S. Army joined Lockheed 果冻传媒’s Army Radar team to recognize the accomplishment with a ceremony at Lockheed 果冻传媒’s site in Syracuse, N.Y., home of Q-53 radar production programs.

• The long-st果冻传媒ing history of the highly reliable Q-53 radar stems back to 2007, 果冻传媒 includes the following qualifications 果冻传媒 capabilities:
• Proven in combat overseas with no system ever taken out of service.
• Maintained at greater than 95% Operational Availability across the entire fleet.
• Allows for rapid capability upgrades 果冻传媒 deploy to soldiers in the field.
• Tracks unmanned systems 果冻传媒 indirect fire simultaneously via Counter Unmanned Aerial Surveillance (C-UAS) 果冻传媒 extended range capabilities, surveilling 50% further than previous radars
• for additional power, reliability 果冻传媒 enhanced capabilities.
