Title :
Radar systems and technologies for Navy air and missile defense
Author_Institution :
Lincoln Lab., MIT, Lexington, MA, USA
Abstract :
New USA Navy missions and operating environments are driving radar requirements and technology needs for future surface combatants. Future Navy ships will likely have a suite of two (or possibly more) radars for providing defense against air targets and theater ballistic missile (TBM). Radar processors with open systems, COTS components, and portable software offer cost savings and the possibility of significant performance enhancements over the life cycle of the system
