Under the second phase of the US Army's Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) – Echelons Above Brigade (TLS-EAB) programme, Lockheed Martin will supply a full prototype system.
The US Army has selected Lockheed Martin for the second phase of the Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) – Echelons Above Brigade (TLS-EAB) programme.
The company will build a prototype TLS-EAB system at its facility in Syracuse, New York.
TLS-EAB will provide long-range situational awareness via detection, identification, location, exploitation and disruption of adversary signals of interest.
