NORTHROP GRUMMAN OFFERS SABR FOR B-52

摘要

NORTHROP GRUMMAN HAS offered its AN/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) in response to the USAFs B-52 radar modernization program (RMP), which is being managed by Boeing. The RMP will replace the bomber's current AN/APQ-166 radar with a new system capable of supporting existing missions and will incorporate new capabilities such as ground moving target indicator/moving target track, surface target search/surface target track and electronic protection. The service is also seeking a system that provides growth for new and enhanced capabilities. The Northrop Grumman SABR radar has already been selected by the USAF and international customers for installation in F-16s and Northrop Grumman has also developed a version of the system for the USAF's B-1B bomber.
