Lockheed Martin’s Radar Centre of Excellence has delivered its 500th ground-based radar, a Q-53 radar system, marking a significant achievement in the company's legacy of providing a portfolio of advanced radar systems to customers around the world.
This milestone reflects our long history of delivering radar capabilities that are transforming the way our customers detect and respond to emerging threats. We're proud to be at the forefront of radar innovation that is making a real difference in the field.
The Bigger Picture
Threat deterrence always begins with detection. Ground-based radars play a crucial role in missile defence systems, as they are the primary means of detecting, tracking, and identifying incoming ballistic missiles, providing essential information that enables a timely interception and response to neutralise threats; essentially acting as the "eyes" and “shield” of a layered missile defence system.
Detect, Deter and Defeat
With broad and deep experience developing and delivering advanced radar solutions to customers, Lockheed Martin’s high-performing, highly reliable radar systems specialise in providing advanced early warning, counter target acquisition, situational awareness, and integrated air and missile defence. From the front lines’ perspective, our radars give the joint force an unprecedented advantage against any adversary and enable them to execute their mission and come home safely.
The Bottom Line
As a leader in next-generation radar technology, Lockheed Martin is ensuring warfighters have the leap-ahead situational awareness capabilities required for true protection against the full array of evolving battlefield challenges with precision, adaptability, and reliability.
