Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox radar

The AN/SPY-1Шаблон:Efn is a United States Navy 3D radar system manufactured by Lockheed Martin. The array is a passive electronically scanned system and a key component of the Aegis Combat System. The system is computer controlled and uses four complementary antennas to provide 360-degree coverage. The system was first installed in 1973 on Шаблон:USS and entered active service in 1983 as the SPY-1A on Шаблон:USS. The -1A was installed on ships up to CG-58, with the -1B upgrade first installed on Шаблон:USS in 1986. The upgraded -1B(V) was retrofitted to existing ships from CG-59 up to the last, Шаблон:USS.

Description

The first production model of the SPY-1 series is SPY-1, which forms the baseline configuration of all subsequent SPY-1 radars. SPY-1A has four antenna arrays in two separate deckhouses, with each antenna array containing 148 modules. Each module contains up to 32 radiating elements and phase shifters, and modules are paired to form transmitting and receiving sub-arrays, which are grouped into 32 transmitting and 68 receiving arrays. Transmitting arrays are driven by eight transmitters, each with four crossed-field amplifiers (CFAs). Each CFA produces a peak power of Шаблон:Val. There are 4,096 total radiators, 4,352 receivers, and 128 auxiliary elements on each antenna array. The power requirement of SPY-1A is four times that of the AN/SPS-48. The AN/UYK-7 computer controls SPY-1.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp

SPY-1A is a development of SPY-1, resulting from the deployment of SPY-1-equipped Шаблон:USS off the Lebanese coast. It was discovered that the false alarm rate was high because the radar would pick up swarms of insects and clutter from mountainous terrain. The solution was to allow the operator to change the sensitivity profile of radar by periodically reducing attenuation, and setting threat and non-threat sectors according to changing environment.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp The result was more efficient utilization of resources. About 10% of the software totaling thirty thousand lines were rewritten to accommodate the necessary upgrade.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp In 2003, the U.S. Navy donated a SPY-1A antenna to the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma, making it one of the first stationary phased arrays used in weather forecasting. The Multifunction Phased Array Radar was decommissioned and removed in 2016.

SPY-1B adopts VLSI, resulting in increased performance and reduced size and weight. For example, the electronic cabinets area was reduced from 11 to 5, with the corresponding weight reduced from Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert, and separate digital modules are reduced from 3,806 to 1,606.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp A 7-bit phase shifter replaced the 4-bit phase shifter in earlier models, with the corresponding weight of phase shifters in the face of the antenna reduced from Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert, and a reduction of the side lobe by Шаблон:Val. There are 4,350 radiators with two side lobe cancellation antennae, each with two elements, and the radar uses eleven 16-bit microprocessors. The ability to counter steep diving missiles was improved with more energy at higher elevations or longer pulse.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp

SPY-1B(V) is a development of earlier SPY-1B with moving target indication capability incorporated in 1997.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp

SPY-1D was first installed on Шаблон:USS (DDG-51) in 1991, with all antennas in a single deckhouse. It is a variant of the -1B to fit the Шаблон:Sclass using the UYK-43 computer, with the main antenna also used as missile uplinks, thus eliminating the need for separate missile uplinks in earlier models. The AN/UYA-4 display in earlier models is replaced by the UYQ-21 display.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp Starting with Flight III (DDG-125), the Arleigh Burke class is being equipped with AN/SPY-6(V)1 radar from Raytheon; Flight IIA (DDG-79 to DDG-124) will be retrofitted with the AN/SPA-6(V)4 variant.Шаблон:RШаблон:R

SPY-1D(V), the Littoral Warfare Radar, was an upgrade introduced in 1998 with a new track initiation processor for high clutter near-coast operations, where the earlier "blue water" systems were especially weak. The waveform is coded and signal processing is improved.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp The ability to resist electronic attack was also improved.[1]

SPY-1E SBAR (S-Band Active Array) is the only active phased array model in the SPY-1 series. SPY-1E utilizes commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) subsystems, and a single-faced demonstration unit was built in 2004. The weight of the antenna remains the same, but the weight below the deck is greatly reduced.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp It was later renamed the AN/SPY-2 and subsequently developed into AN/SPY-4 Volume Search Radar (VSR) for Шаблон:Sclasss and Шаблон:Sclasss to complement their AN/SPY-3 X-band radar. VSR was removed from the Zumwalt class due to budgetary concerns and will be replaced with Raytheon AN/SPY-6(V)4 on the Gerald R. Ford class starting with Шаблон:USS.Шаблон:R

SPY-1F FARS (frigate array radar system) is a smaller version of the 1D designed to fit frigates. It is used in Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen-class frigates. The origin of the SPY-1F can be traced back to the FARS proposed to the German Navy in the 1980s. The size of the antenna of SPY-1F is reduced from the original Шаблон:Convert with 4,350 elements to 8 ft (2.4 m) with 1,856 elements, and the range is Шаблон:Percentage of the SPY-1D.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp It is not used by the U.S. Navy, although there were proposals to retrofit Freedom-class littoral combat ships.

SPY-1F(V) is a derivative of SPY-1F with improved capability against littoral targets and cruise missiles and better multi-mission capability.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp

SPY-1K is the smallest version of the radar currently offered, based on the same architecture as the 1D and 1F. It is intended for use on very small vessels such as corvettes, where the SPY-1F would be too large. The size of the antenna is further reduced to Шаблон:Convert with 912 elements.Шаблон:RШаблон:Rp As of 2007, none were in service, although the radar is incorporated into the design of the yet-unbuilt Шаблон:Ill.Шаблон:RШаблон:R

Air and Missile Defense Radar

In July 2009, Lockheed Martin was one of three companies awarded contracts to study the development of a new Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) to be composed of an S-Band radar, an X-Band radar, and a Radar Suite Controller to defend against evolving anti-ship and ballistic missile threats.Шаблон:R
