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.
