Il Giappone fornirà componenti per il radar della fregata tedesca F127 – Naval News

> Barbara Borgonovi, President of Naval Power at Raytheon, told Naval News there are five key reasons why SPY-6 was chosen.

> “The first one, it is the US program of record, and allows for interoperability, interchangeability with the U.S. Second, that means it’s a low risk approach. Yes, it needs to be adaptive for Germany specific frigate, but it’s a very low risk activity to do that and perceive. And third is in production for the [U.S.] Navy. So it’s not just a program of record for the U.S. Navy, it is in production. Two ships have already been commissioned and we are ahead of schedule on production and deliveries. And fourth, this is a maritime radar, so it’s not a land based radar to go into the maritime environment. This radar has been designed for performance at sea. We’ve done rigorous testing including at sea testing and multiple locations. And lastly, training is also incredibly important. So we don’t just deliver a radar, but we ensure that our customers and sailors have the ability to adequately use our capability. And that includes training infrastructure for SPY-6”

The AN/SPY-6 is an American radar system with some Japanese components.
