Syracuse, NY (SPX) Jun 03, 2008Lockheed Martin recently completed a successful Critical Design Review (CDR) for the Enhanced AN/TPQ-36 counter-fire target acquisition (EQ-36) radar. The completion of this final design step, on schedule, clears the way for the program to move into an initial production phase for five radar systems. The U.S. Army's new EQ-36 radar will provide the capability to detect, classify, track and ... more Targeting A Lunar Bulls-Eye 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 03, 2008Researchers have used Earth-based radar to examine ejecta material from the massive impact that formed the moon's Orientale impact basin. Orientale basin is located at the very edge of the moon's visible face. Previously, this crater was difficult to study because it is only partially visible to telescopes on Earth. Newly developed techniques now have been used to make high-resolution radar obse ... more Keeping The Military Fully Networked And Online 
Bethpage NY (SPX) Jun 03, 2008Northrop Grumman has conducted a study for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, which demonstrates airborne electronic jammer aircraft are more effective and efficient when networked and enhanced by decision aids.
