The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration has selected the Lockheed Martin TPY-4, a next-generation ground-based air surveillance radar, to boost the country’s long-range detection capabilities. Sweden becomes the third nation to adopt this advanced fifth-generation radar platform.
“We are proud to contribute to the defense and security of our allied nations,” said Rick Cordaro, vice president of Radar and Sensor Systems at Lockheed Martin. “The TPY-4 radar is a major advancement in integrated deterrence, improving interoperability with NATO. As a trusted partner to the U.S. Air Force, Norway, and now Sweden, we are dedicated to providing this cutting-edge radar technology to meet the evolving threats faced by the U.S. and its allies.”
