Unprecedented range, and multi-targeting prowess, next-generation capability to ensure air superiority

 

RTX’s newest fire control Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, the APG-82(V)X, features cutting-edge gallium nitride (GaN) technology, delivering a significant leap forward in air superiority – providing unparalleled situational awareness, lethality and increased survivability in highly-contested threat environments.

The next-generation AESA radar provides unmatched range, multi-function advanced air-to-air, air-to-ground and electronic warfare capabilities, as well as advanced signal processing and high-resolution tracking capabilities.

The radar combats aerial threats, including unmanned aerial vehicles, hypersonics, cruise missiles and modern fighter aircraft.

RTX’s latest variant supports interoperability enabling faster decision making and more efficient kill chains.

Beyond raw detection power, the APG-82(V)X is a significant force multiplier. It can seamlessly integrate with other sensors and platforms, or ground-based systems, creating a comprehensive picture of the battlefield, increasing aircrew and friendly force awareness and give troops the data they need to make informed decisions. 

Key capabilities enhancements include

Wideband multi-function capability pairing traditional fire-control modes with Electronic Attack and Electronic Warfare Capabilities
Continuous scanning and target identification at greater standoff-distances providing a crucial first-look, first-shoot advantage
Upgradeable, scalable and designed with the latest open systems architecture standards with built-in growth
Integrates with U.S. and international weapon systems
The processor offers increased speed and power to significantly increase range, detection capability and electronic warfare capability

Built on an extraordinary 80-year legacy

The latest AESA radar is built on Raytheon’s 80-year legacy in nonstop innovation in tactical fighter radars.

It leverages the APG-82 (V)1, APG-79 and APG-63(V)3 radar’s exceptional performance, combat-proven capabilities and operational effectiveness.

RTX has been at the forefront of the radar revolution, being the first to field an American AESA radar – the APG-63(V)2 – and continues  to innovate and provide air superiority for armed forces around the world.
