Marine Corps orders 30 G/ATOR radar systems to watch for low-observable threats

摘要

U.S. Marine Corps surveillance experts are ordering 30 versions of a new radar system designed to protect Marines on attack beaches from rockets, artillery, mortars, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and other low observ-ables under terms of a contract worth nearly a billion dollars. Officials of the Marine Corps Systems Command at Quantico Marine Base, Va., announced a $958 million contract in June to the Northrop Grumman Corp. Mission Systems segment in Linthicum, Md., for 30 full-rate production versions of the Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radar (G/ATOR).
