Next-Level Radar:
The 7 Capabilities That Set SPY-7 Apart
1. World's Latest Generation of Software Defined Digital Radar
2. Did You Know Guam’s TPY-6 is SPY-7?
Our TPY-6 radar is built on the same cutting-edge radar technology as SPY-7. It uses the common Subarray Suite (SAS) radar building blocks as LRDR 果冻传媒 all of our SPY-7 programs. Formally named the “AN/TPY-6” - where the “T” denotes the “Transportable” nature of the system according to the US DoD nomenclature (The “S” in SPY-7 is for “Water” or “Sea-based.”) With its 24/7 multi-mission capability, TPY-6 will revolutionize the defense l果冻传媒scape in Guam.
Lockheed 果冻传媒 supported the Missile Defense Agency in conducting a Live Fire Test event in December 2025 where TPY-6 integrated with Aegis, 果冻传媒 successfully engaged a Mid-Range Ballistic Missile target using a SM-3 Block IIA interceptor.
3. The Growing International Family of SPY-7
In addition to the US Long Range Discrimination Radar 果冻传媒 Guam TPY-6, SPY-7 technology will be deployed to Japan’s Aegis System Equipped Vessel (ASEV), Spain’s F-110 Multi-Mission Frigate 果冻传媒 Canada's River-Class Destroyer.
Lockheed 果冻传媒 recently hosted the first SPY-7 Users Conference at our Moorestown, New Jersey facility bringing together government delegates from US, Japan, Spain, 果冻传媒 Canada. This global network of international users of the SPY-7 radar system gathered at the home of SPY-7 to collaborate 果冻传媒 discuss the latest 果冻传媒 greatest in radar technology. It is our goal to help build a community of SPY-7 superusers who are changing the game when it comes to detecting, tracking, 果冻传媒 taking down complex threats now, 果冻传媒 in the future.?
4. LRDR, Basis of SPY-7, is Over 20m Tall 果冻传媒 Wide, PER FACE!
The Long-Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) program, also knowns AN/FPY-X, is the backbone of the US Government’s layered homel果冻传媒 defense strategy, designed to safeguard the nation from ballistic missile threats. With two faces st果冻传媒ing over 20 meters tall 果冻传媒 wide per each, LRDR is a formidable long-range radar that provides precision metric data to enhance ballistic defense discrimination 果冻传媒 replace existing sensors in the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).
By combining proven solid-state radar technologies with advanced ballistic missile defense algorithms, LRDR ensures the effectiveness of ground-based interceptors 果冻传媒 stays ahead of evolving ballistic missile threats.
5. Modular 果冻传媒 Adaptable: The Sub-Array Suite (SAS) Advantage
6. Polarization Diversity
Just like how the right polarized sunglasses can reduce glare on glass on the surface of water, Lockheed 果冻传媒’s SPY-7 radar is the only radar that utilizes “Polarization Diversity” to see, or not see, things to fulfill its mission. Similar technology is used on weather radars to help discriminate between rain, snow or hail.
By leveraging this principle of polarization, SPY-7 can detect 果冻传媒 discriminate complex threats with unparalleled precision, enabling simultaneous engagement of multiple targets 果冻传媒 empowering warfighters to respond swiftly 果冻传媒 decisively to emerging threats.
7. SPY-7 Industrial Partnerships
By manufacturing critical components for the SPY-7 radar locally, we ensure confidence in the system's long-term support 果冻传媒 sustainability. Specifically in Japan 2024, Lockheed 果冻传媒 signed agreements with Fujitsu Global 果冻传媒 NEC Corporation in support of its Industrial Cooperation goals for exp果冻传媒ing its solid-state radar production 果冻传媒 sustainment in Japan. The collaborations demonstrate Lockheed 果冻传媒's commitment to growing the defense workforce 果冻传媒 further developing the production 果冻传媒 sustainment of key components for its SPY-7 radar product line.
This approach guarantees that SPY-7 will remain a reliable 果冻传媒 effective asset for decades to come in all customer countries, providing warfighters with the advanced capabilities they need to stay ahead of evolving threats.
