Cobra Judy Replacement Radars Pass Test

摘要

Next January, the Cobra Judy Replacement (CJR) program will begin providing the US government with long-loiter, ballistic-missile data-collection capability in support of international treaty verification. The program recently underwent its first tests against a live rocket launch. From approximately 100 miles off the Florida coast, the powerful X- and S-band radars integrated on-board the USNS Howard 0. Lorenzen (T-AGM 25; see photo) successfully acquired and tracked both stages of an Atlas V rocket launched from Cape Canaveral. They also collected all associated data.
