Navy tests maritime aircraft radar

The Navy has tested new maritime aircraft radar.

The APS-154 Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS) radar made its first flight, on a P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. The radar will "replace the APS-149 Littoral Surveillance Radar System (LSRS) carried on specially modified P-3C Orion aircraft," reads a Naval Air Systems Command news release.

The radar "represents the next generation of maritime patrol and reconnaissance radars which will provide military commanders highly accurate battle-space situational awareness as an integrated Maritime Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting (ISR&T) asset," the release continues.
