HERNDON, Va., Oct. 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. subsidiary of Europe's Airbus Defense and Space has installed and put into operation a TRS-3D naval radar for the U.S. Navy's Littoral Combat Ship. <\/p>\n
The radar was installed and integrated aboard the Milwaukee (LCS 5), the third Freedom variant LCS, under a contract from Lockheed Martin, the prime contractor for the vessel. <\/p>\n
\"The TRS-3D is the choice for ships with multi-mode radar requirements, as evidenced by it being a global market leader in its class,\" said Aaron Johnson, director of Sales and Marketing, at Airbus Defense and Space Inc.'s Communications, Intelligence, Security & Electronics division. \"We're proud to support Lockheed Martin and the LCS program with our products.\" <\/p>\n
The TRS-3D is a three-dimensional, multi-mode naval radar for surveillance, self-defense, gunfire support, and helicopter control. It automatically locates and tracks both air and sea targets. <\/p>\n
