The military will receive the latest Sentinel A4 Reb System: Identify missiles, drones and mortars

The US Army has approved the modernization of its radars with a new lattice with a phase and frequency scanning. The US Defense Defense has approved the financing of the Program for improving air defense systems with new phase lattices of Sentinel A4 produced by Lockheed Martin, Defense News reports. The military says modernization is crucial for the future defense potential. According to the approved program by 2025, the US Army will receive 19 updated radar systems.

Currently, the purpose of the army for the purchase of radars is 240 systems, which will provide at least six battalions, Major General Frank Lozano told reporters. An active Sentinel A4 e -scan is a radar of the next generation that is planned to replace the current phase and frequency scanning lattice in Sentinel A3 and earlier versions.

The updated radar station is capable of detecting winged missiles, drones, missiles, artillery and mortars, as well as at the same time identify and track different types of threats. The modernization of air defense with Sentinel A4 is part of the future global army integrated system of combat and anti -missile defense combat management (IBCS).

"Over the past five to seven years, there has been a lot of discussions about protecting from winged missiles, and a big impulse was given so that we have a good IBCS system," Lozano said. "Sentinel A4 is a key component of this and the US Army will receive a truly high quality radar," the military added. According to Lozano, the army plans to move from A3 radar to A4 by retraining soldiers.

But before that, the Pentagon wants to make sure that the updated radar systems are convenient for the military. "As we receive feedback from soldiers, we make renewal and improvement developers, and then again give the system to check in the army. The radars must fully meet all the requirements of both the Pentagon and the soldiers who will work with them," - The Major General emphasizes. Earlier, Focus said that the Armed Forces destroyed the rare radar "Zoo-1".
