“During the milestone event, the SPY-7 radar system’s tactical hardware and software accurately tracked airborne objects, which confirms the system’s maturity and readiness for comprehensive performance testing,” said Chandra Marshall, vice president of Multi-Domain Combat Solutions at Lockheed Martin. “Lockheed Martin has rapidly scaled and advanced its naval radar technology and solutions to meet the evolving needs of Spain, ensuring strategic advantage.”

“This achievement marks a critical milestone in the F-110 Program and showcases the progress made, ensuring that the program is on track to meet its scheduled commissioning date for the first frigate in 2028,” said Carlos Lopez, F-110 Program Director at Navantia.
