TPY-4 detects smaller, harder-to-detect, next-generation threats, Lockheed Martin said. The radar can see targets in a jamming situation and provides long-range, early warning for missiles, “allowing for more rapid responses to emerging threats.”
Radar jamming is a form of electronic warfare that involves intentionally interfering with the operation of radar systems by flooding their receivers with noise or false information, making it difficult to detect real targets.
“The 3DELRR program is of the utmost importance to air surveillance and defense capabilities worldwide, as well as defending the nation,” Rick Cordaro, VP of Lockheed Martin’s radar and sensor systems, said in the firm’s announcement.
