EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Raytheon reports a flight test of its APG-79(V)X AESA radar has validated its enhancement of the capabilities of the U.S. Navy's F/A-18C/D aircraft.
Active electronically scanned array radar utilizes small solid-state transmit and receive modules that scatter their signal emissions across a band of frequencies, making their source difficult to detect.
