(White Plains, NY, January 09, 2007) -- ITT Corporation and Thales Corporation have signed an exclusive agreement for ITT to build and market the SMART-S Mk2 radar system in the United States.
According to William Devlin, vice president of ITT Electronic Systems Radar Systems-Gilfillan, the operating business unit that will build the radar, "This agreement will enable ITT to immediately field another modern product and expand our services to the US Navy. This radar will provide the Navy with a much needed capability, particularly on emerging platforms including the Littoral Combat Ship."
The SMART-S Mk2 has full 3D coverage up to 70 degrees elevation and two operating modes (13.5 / 27 rpm) with 250/150 km range respectively. SMART-S Mk2 has a solid-state transmit/receive array antenna with a fully integrated Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system and is optimized for medium-to-long range surveillance and target designation in complex environments such as the littorals with its mix of sea, land, islands, coastal rain and thunderstorms and multiple radar targets, including small surface targets, helicopters and anti-ship missiles. The range performance is matched with the requirements for modern anti-air warfare (AAW) defense missile systems such as the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM).
ITT provides state-of-the-art air defense, surveillance, multifunction and air traffic control radar systems for U.S. and international land and maritime applications. Offering more than 60 years of leadership in radar technologies and services, ITT is also a leader in the development of miniaturized active array antenna modules and subsystems for sensor and communications applications.
