Northrop Grumman orders G/ATOR system components from Saab
Saab is providing components and subsystems to support full-rate production of the AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) for the USMC, under a $36.7 million order from prime contractor Northrop Grumman.
Deliveries will be made in 2020 and 2021 from the Saab facility in Syracuse, New York.
‘Through Saab’s strong partnership with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, we continue to advance the G/ATOR program in support of the U.S. Marine Corps,’ said Erik Smith, president and CEO of Saab in the US.
‘Each delivery of the G/ATOR system improves the capability and effectiveness of our Armed Forces,’ he added in a 23 September statement.
Saab has partnered Northrop Grumman on G/ATOR since the initial design and development contract award in 2007.
In June 2019, Northrop Grumman was awarded a $958 million contract for full-rate production of 30 AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR units for the USMC, with a completion date of 13 January 2025.
Shephard Defence Insight notes that the AESA radar can be mounted on a trailer or on the back of an HMMWV and will be progressively upgraded through four incremental improvements once it enters service.
