Lockheed Martin to provide Pakistan with 6 mobile long-range radars

AN/TPS-77

The US Air Force awarded Lockheed Martin an $89m contract to provide six long-range AN/TPS-77 transportable radar systems for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Under the Foreign Military Sale (FMS) contract, Lockheed Martin will provide Pakistan with the mobile radar systems, support equipment, spare and repair parts, publications and technical data, personnel training and equipment, and logistical support services.

The AN/TPS-77 is the latest configuration of the three-dimensional (3-D) solid-state radar design, the AN/FPS-117. This L-band, tactical radar reportedly provides continuous high-quality 3-D surveillance on air targets at ranges out to 280 miles and at elevations up to 100,000 feet. Including these six radars now under contract, 33 AN/TPS-77 radar sets have been produced to date. In addition, there are 127 AN/FPS-117 systems (the fixed land based version) operational in 14 countries. Many have operated for years in remote areas, completely unmanned and in a range of operational environments.
