The world's latest generation solid-state radar technology, formerly known as Lockheed Martin's (NYSE: LMT) Solid State Radar (LM SSR), has been designated as AN/SPY-7(V)1 by the United States government. The designation of AN/SPY-7(V)1 is a direct reflection of the maturity and capability of Lockheed Martin's solid-state radar technology. The Japanese Ministry of Defense selected AN/SPY-7(V)1 for two planned Aegis Ashore installations in 2018. Additionally, variants of AN/SPY-7(V)1 will be used by the Royal Canadian Navy for the Canadian Surface Combatant program and the Spanish Navy for the upcoming F-110 frigate program. "Lockheed Martin's solid state solution meets the mission now and is flexible to adapt to the evolving threats of the future," said Paul Lemmo, vice president and general manager at Lockheed Martin. "This new designation solidifies our ability to provide the most technically advanced capabilities our warfighters require." AN/SPY-7(V)1 is a modular and scalable solid state radar, allowing for continuous surveillance and protection. It will be fully integrated with the Aegis Combat System, providing advanced technology for future ship classes. With 50 years of constant evolution and innovation, Lockheed Martin has a trusted history of producing, integrating and delivering radars and combat systems. Lockheed Martin and the Aegis Combat System continue to keep pace with evolving integrated air and missile threats, introducing new capabilities to create the latest generation of advanced solid state technologies, integrated with the Aegis system, to provide world-class defense and ensure future safety and security.
Japan protected with SPY-7 Recently designated by the U.S. Government as AN/SPY-7(V)1, this technology is derived from current radar programs and significant Lockheed Martin investment. Variants of the SPY-7 radar will also be utilized through partnerships with the U.S. Government, Spain and Canada. To date, the technology has been selected for a total of 24 systems. Equipped with the latest digital, solid-state radar technology, Aegis Ashore Japan will integrate the SPY-7 radar with the Aegis Combat System and protect Japan with a robust system that: Can detect, track and engage sophisticated ballistic missile threats; + Provides several times the detection range and sensitivity of traditional SPY-1 Aegis Ashore systems; and + Engages multiple targets simultaneously with proven interceptors. In defense against ballistic missile threats, Aegis Ashore and SPY-7 will provide continuous protection of Japan. As the threat landscape evolves, Aegis Ashore will protect the country and its citizens. Lockheed Martin is leveraging programs of record for Aegis Ashore Japan and utilizing the existing supply chain that already supports multiple solid-state radar programs. The combat system for Aegis Ashore Japan will be compatible with the country's current Aegis naval fleet for full interoperability. As the threat environment evolves, Aegis Ashore Japan will be updated from the same Common Source Library (CSL) of software updates that all Aegis assets utilize. The Aegis Weapon System is the most deployed combat system in the world, and its flexible system architecture enables it to fulfill a variety of missions. Its unique open architecture allows the system to maintain interoperability across global domains on 118 ships, 10 ship classes and seven countries to protect warfighters.
