Lockheed Martin, in collaboration with Spain's state-owned shipbuilder Navantia, has conducted a significant test for the AN/SPY-7(V)2 radar system, developed for the F-110 multi-mission frigate. The event took place at Lockheed Martin's Aegis SCOMBA Integration Center (ASIC) in Moorestown, New Jersey, marking a crucial step in the development of the radar system.
“During the milestone event, the SPY-7 radar system's tactical hardware and software accurately tracked airborne objects, which confirms the system's maturity and readiness for comprehensive performance testing,” said Chandra Marshall, vice president of Multi-Domain Combat Solutions at Lockheed Martin. “Lockheed Martin has rapidly scaled and advanced its naval radar technology and solutions to meet the evolving needs of Spain, ensuring strategic advantage.”
“This achievement marks a critical milestone in the F-110 Program and showcases the progress made, ensuring that the program is on track to meet its scheduled commissioning date for the first frigate in 2028”, said Carlos Lopez, F-110 Program Director at Navantia.
In the coming months, Lockheed Martin plans to carry out additional tests on the SPY-7 radar system and the Aegis tactical equipment to ensure a fully integrated and calibrated system is delivered. The radar is slated for formal delivery in 2026, aligning with the construction timeline of the frigates and the activation of the combat system.
Two of the F-110 frigates are currently under construction. Lockheed Martin and Navantia are jointly working on the integration of the Aegis and SCOMBA combat systems, with testing planned at the ASIC facility in New Jersey and the Spanish Navy's land-based test site in Rota naval base, Spain.
Navantia is responsible for designing and building technologically advanced ships for the Spanish Navy and international clients. The company provides lifecycle support, modernisation, and technology transfer services across 20 countries. Lockheed Martin, a global defence technology company, develops mission solutions to address modern security challenges.
