Lockheed Wins Air Force’s Ground-Based Radar Replacement Competition

The U.S. Air Force has chosen Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) to replace a tactical ground-based radar system used to carry out airspace defense operations.

USAF said Wednesday it will exercise an option of a previously awarded contract to procure the company’s AN/TPY-4(V)1 technology for the Three-Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar production effort as part of the ā€œSpeedDealerā€ middle-tier acquisition approach.

The service branch awarded separate integration contracts to Lockheed and Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) in 2021 to develop and demonstrate data transmission interfaces under the 3DELRR rapid prototyping program.

ā€œBoth companies have impressive systems,” said Col. Erik Rhylander, senior materiel leader of the Theater Battle Control Division at Hanscom AF Base.

ā€œAfter assessing radar capabilities, costs for production and sustainment, and residual technical risks to meeting the Air Forceā€™s requirements, the AN/TPY-4(V)1 system provides the best overall value for the Air Force.ā€
