The German Navy has chosen the American SPY-6 radar for its new F127 frigates, making it the first international customer for this radar family.
Raytheon, part of RTX, will provide integration support and technical services to adapt the radar to the F127's design. The system will be installed on eight ships, enhancing their air and missile defense capabilities.
“Germany’s selection of SPY-6 reaffirms the global confidence in the radar’s advanced capabilities and its critical role in enhancing naval defence,”
said Barbara Borgonovi, President of Naval Power at Raytheon. The SPY-6 family is also being fitted on seven US Navy ship classes, significantly improving fleet sensor capabilities.
