USN EASR tests start at Wallops Island

摘要

Raytheon and the US Navy (USN) has completed the first system-level tests of the AN/SPY-6(V)2, Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) at the Surface Combat System Center at Wallops Island, Virginia, the company confirmed on 20 August. Thanks in part to built-in commonality with the AN/SPY-6 (V)1 Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) developed for the USN's future guided-missile destroyer (DDG) fleet, EASR testing has begun at an accelerated rate, tracking targets immediately after installation, Scott Spence, Raytheon Naval Radar Systems senior director, told Jane's.
