Northrop Grumman was chosen by prime contractor Lockheed Martin as
the radar provider for the U.S. Air Force and Taiwan F-16 radar
modernization and upgrade programs, which aim to keep the F-16 viable in
future threat environments and to improve system reliability,
maintainability and affordability.
Since the SABR active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar
was selected for the U.S. Air Force and Taiwan modernization and upgrade
programs this past July, the system has completed three major
development and design reviews. Several engineering and manufacturing
development (EMD) systems are now in production, with the first to be
delivered to Lockheed Martin before the end of 2014.
