Radar LRDR: American air defense is now capable of finding balloistics all classes (video)

The latest radar station is created using GAN technology, and can track space objects, including active and inactive satellites, as well as rockets. The US Agency Defense Agency (MDA) has finally received a long -haul LRDR radar from Lockheed Martin. This innovative radar is capable in continuous mode to search and monitor many small objects at a long distance, including ballistic missiles of any class. This is stated in the presire of the developer from April 22.

The report noted that the radar of the LRDR, based on the Clear Space Force Station Station, Alaska, reached the final stage of DD250 approval and was officially transferred by MDA. Currently, the Army is preparing for the final transfer of the radar to the combat unit. The Lockheed Martin also added that before this final transmission of LRDR the company has already started collecting information about outdoor space for US forces.

The key feature of the new system is the ability not only to identify dangerous objects flying behind the ballistic trajectory, but also to distinguish hostile warheads from non -lethal baits. This opportunity saves a significant landing base resource, which is extremely important for adequate threats. The LRDR radar station operates in the S-range of frequencies and has a universal open system architecture.

In addition to the missile defense, the system supports the system of awareness of the space sphere. In other words, the radar controls satellites that rotate around the Earth, identifying, tracking and identifying active or inactive spacecraft, worked rockets, and debris. Thanks to GAN technology (production of semiconductors on gallium nitride), radar can operate at higher levels of power, and the S-range provides the ability to distinguish and track.

The radar is part of AEGIS Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), a Western missile defense system, performing the most important work on threat discrimination, including hypersonic. For example, LRDR initially identifies and tracks the target. The system then transmits data on the BMDS tracking data, which uses this data to make the best interception decision from the point of view of time and place to release the interceptor rocket.
