Legacy Hornets Can Soar with AESA radar

Raytheon has successfully flight tested its APG-79 (V) X AESA radar system on the US Navy's F/A-18C/D Hornet fighter / attack jets. Designed to extend the Hornet's relevance, the Raytheon-built radar system demonstrated extended detection ranges and simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities. Additional functions include the production of high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mapping and industry-leading reliability. Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems business tactical airborne systems business development director Mike Garcia said: "We put our latest AESA radar capability to the test and it exceeded our expectations."
