US defence contractor Raytheon has announced the successful completion of the first airborne test of its next-generation PhantomStrike radar system, marking a significant milestone in lightweight radar technology.
The PhantomStrike radar is designed to deliver high-performance capabilities in a compact and lightweight package, making it suitable for integration across a broad range of military platforms.
During the test, the radar demonstrated operational readiness by effectively tracking multiple aerial targets and producing high-resolution terrain maps, highlighting its advanced situational awareness features.
Raytheon described PhantomStrike as a breakthrough in radar technology, bringing advanced capabilities typically reserved for cutting-edge fighter jets into a smaller, more affordable form.
