Marine Corps successfully tests and integrates new system to ‘counter emerging threats’
By: Philip Athey   1 day ago
In the search for a defense against an increasing threat from missiles, rockets and drones, the Marine Corps has shown interest in linking current Marine radar systems with the very successful Israeli Iron Dome air defense system.
A live-fire demonstration over the summer may have been the first successful time the Marine Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radar, or G/ATOR, was combined with the air defense system known as SkyHunter in the U.S.
For operational-security reasons the Corps was not able to confirm which systems were tested, but the timeline matches previous reporting and statements made on the Marine Corps’ interest for an improved air defense system.
