Vehicle-levelling for Latvian TPS-77
Lockheed Martin has selected Trust Automation to provide automatic vehicle levelling systems for the TPS-77 Multi-Role Radars (MRRs) being delivered to the Latvian Ministry of Defence, Trust Automation announced on 20 April.
Trust Automation has custom designed and is manufacturing specific motion control and vehicle automation systems that will integrate with the TPS-77.

We’ve combined our vehicle automation expertise with Lockheed Martin’s ongoing success in radar systems to provide an economical, durable and reliable product.’
