Lockheed Martin's SPY-7 Radar Gains Traction Abroad After US Setbacks
After facing setbacks in US procurement, Lockheed Martin’s SPY-7 radar has found new life in foreign procurements. Japan, Spain, and Canada have all selected the SPY-7 for various defense programs, with potential future procurements including the UAE and possible replacements for Japan’s Kongō-class destroyers. The radar’s success abroad may be a result of Lockheed Martin’s efforts to adapt its technology to meet the needs of international partners, as reported by Defense Security Monitor.
