BALTIMORE, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation has been selected by the U.S. Army to develop a new long-range radar for surveillance and reconnaissance missions, the company announced on Thursday.
Northrop's Airborne Reconnaissance Low-Enhanced (ARL-E) Long-Range Radar will also be integrated with a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and ground moving target indicator (GMTI). Vice president of tactical sensor solutions for Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems Steve McCoy calls the radar a "good fit" for the U.S. Army.
