Raytheon’s Lightweight PhantomStrike Radar Passes First Test

Raytheon, an RTX business, has successfully completed the first flight test of its PhantomStrike radar on its Multi-Program Testbed aircraft in Ontario, California. The radar successfully tracked several airborne targets and accurately mapped the terrain. It is a first-of-its-kind fully air-cooled, fire-control radar designed to provide long-range threat detection, tracking and targeting. 
 
At nearly half the cost of a typical fire control radar, it is faster, has a more agile digital beam, and offers advanced target detection and resistance to jamming.
PhantomStrike is a gallium nitride (GaN) powered radar that enables aircrew to see farther. It harnesses the fire control power of a fighter in its lightest form factor ever, weighing nearly half of a modern active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar.
