"We are honored to support the defense and security of our allied nations," said Rick Cordaro, vice president of Radar and Sensor Systems at Lockheed Martin. "The TPY-4 radar represents a significant leap forward in integrated deterrence, enhancing interoperability with NATO allies. As a trusted partner to the U.S. Air Force, Norway and now Sweden, we are committed to delivering this advanced radar capability to help address the complex and evolving threats faced by America and its allies."
Lockheed Martin will deliver the first TPY-4 radar systems in 2027 to support the Swedish Air Force's national defense requirements.
The TPY-4 radar system is a highly advanced, phased-array radar that provides unparalleled air surveillance capabilities, including detection and tracking of airborne targets in real-time. This gives troops an advantage against any adversary and enables them to execute their mission safely.
