Northrop Grumman Enhances G/ATOR with New Performance Capabilities
14 Juin 2023 - 3:30PM
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) continues to enhance the
functionality of AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radar (G/ATOR)
with new performance upgrades that will extend the range and add
advanced capabilities following the completion of Full Rate
Production lot one to the U.S. Marine Corps. While in production,
G/ATOR has proven to be an agile expeditionary air defense
capability suitable for air base defense. Based on the success of
the fielded systems, new performance upgrades that will extend the
range and capability are planned for next year for the
Multifunction radar systems in production.
“The advanced functionality significantly increases the range of
the current system, enhances cruise missile defense capability and
establishes G/ATOR as the most agile ground-based surveillance and
integrated fire control system available today,” said Melissa
Johanson, director, advanced land sensors, Northrop Grumman. “We
are committed to outpacing modern adversary threat systems for
partner and allied forces with advanced surveillance and fire
control capability.”
G/ATOR combines five of the Marine Corps’ single-mission radars
into one multi-mission system for total air and missile defense
surveillance. This provides a new level of protection and
situational understanding for warfighters and enables them to make
better decisions when it matters most. The Marines Corps has been
granted funding from Congress for eight additional G/ATOR systems.
To date, 21 of the awarded 46 Northrop Grumman systems have been
fielded.
G/ATOR is one piece of the solution providing joint forces with
an operational picture and deep breadth of data to operate in
today’s contested environment, in support of the U.S. Marine Corps’
Force Design 2030 strategy.
