Lockheed to Insert Gallium Nitride Into Army Radar Tech - top government contractors - best government contracting eventLockheed Martin has received a contract modification to incorporate gallium nitride into U.S. Army radars used to protect soldiers from indirect fire.

The company said Monday updating the AN/TPQ-53 radar technology with GaN can help increase the system’s performance to acquire counterfire targets.

AN/TPQ-53 is designed to help military users detect, classify, track and identify the location of adversarial indirect fire in a 360- or a 90-degree mode.

Operators can use laptops to remotely access and manage the radar mounted on a military truck.

Rick Herodes, director of the Q-53 program at Lockheed, said the company will apply its radar development and production experience to the modification project.
