Northrop Grumman studies air surveillance radar replacements for U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, amphibious ships

AN/TPG-80U.S. Navy officials selected Northrop Grumman Corp. to conduct the $6 million, 18-month Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) Study that explores replacement of SPS-48 and SPS-49 air surveillance radars currently on board U.S. Navy amphibious ships and aircraft carriers.

The study, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research under its Integrated Topside program, will examine how an existing radar concept can be evolved to meet the EASR requirements.

"The goal of this study is to identify the modifications required for an existing radar to achieve the Navy's requirements.
