Lockheed Martin EQ-36 Counterfire Target Acquisition Radar Successfully Completes Critical Design Review

Lockheed Martin recently completed a successful Critical Design Review (CDR) for the Enhanced AN/TPQ-36 counter-fire target acquisition (EQ-36) radar.

The completion of this final design step, on schedule, clears the way for the program to move into an initial production phase for five radar systems.

The U.S. Army’s new EQ-36 radar will provide the capability to detect, classify, track and determine the location of enemy indirect fire such as mortars, artillery and rockets in either 90-degree or 360-degree modes.

EQ-36 systems will replace aging TPQ-36 and TPQ-37 medium-range radars, which only operate in limited 90-degree modes. The value of this acquisition could exceed $1.6 billion.
