TRS delivers Sentinel radar
ThalesRaytheonSystems will deliver four enhanced Sentinel AN/MPQ-64 F1 air defence radars to Latvia, the company announced on 30 September.
Sentinel is a highly mobile, three-dimensional, phased-array radar system that will detect, identify and track airborne threats like cruise missiles, fixed and rotary wing aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. It operates in the X-band frequency range.
It can be used for missions including missile system coordination, air defence, air surveillance, and homeland defence. It will also support infrastructure and asset protection. Sentinel also acts as the primary sensing component for alerting and cueing of targets for National Advanced Surface to Air Missile Systems.
Ross Niebergall, chief executive officer, ThalesRaytheonSystems US Operations, said: ‘Sentinel meets the unique requirements of the Latvia Armed Forces, giving them the ability to more effectively meet today's ever-evolving threat. The radar provides accurate, reliable situational awareness that many nations, including the US, rely on for air defence.’
