Radars and drone killers: Revamped Marine office hastens tech creation
Story by Megan Eckstein • 14h •


The U.S. Marine Corps is developing new radars and leveraging its counter-drone systems as it looks to modernize and expand key capabilities.

The service's Program Executive Office Land Systems is eyeing its newly reorganized portfolios - including ground-based air defense, expeditionary radars and light armored vehicles - to find efficiencies and build upon existing technology to rapidly field new systems and expand the portfolio.
 
Radars
One example involves the expeditionary radars program, which previously housed only the Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar. The office's chief, Stephen Bowdren, told Defense News the G/ATOR is an active radar that has proved itself in the field and is now pivotal to future aspects of warfare like expeditionary advanced base operations.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
