1. 본문

The AN/SPY-7 is a solid-state, S-band radar developed by Lockheed Martin. It's designed to be modular and scalable, allowing for various configurations for both land and sea-based applications. Here's a breakdown of its key features and applications:
Key Features:

• Solid-State and S-band: The AN/SPY-7 operates in the S-band and uses solid-state technology.
• Modular and Scalable: Its design allows for different configurations and sizes, adaptable for various missions and platforms. It can be scaled up by combining individual radar blocks.
• Software-Defined: This allows for efficient insertion of new capabilities without requiring hardware changes.
• Gallium Nitride (GaN) Technology: The AN/SPY-7 utilizes GaN technology, enhancing its performance.
• Simultaneous Engagement: It can engage multiple targets at the same time, using proven interceptors.
• Aegis Compatibility: The radar is fully compatible with the Aegis Combat System.
• Long Range: It is derived from the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR).

• Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD): The AN/SPY-7(V)1 variant is used with the Aegis BMD system.
• Japan: Japan has purchased AN/SPY-7(V)1 for its Aegis System Equipped Vessels (ASEVs). The first ASEV is scheduled to be commissioned by the end of March 2028, and the second by the end of March 2029. The first AN/SPY-7(V)1 radar antenna was delivered to Japan in January 2025.
• Spain: The Spanish Navy will deploy the AN/SPY-7(V)2 on its F-110 Bonifaz-class frigates.
• Canada: The Royal Canadian Navy will use variants of the AN/SPY-7 for its Canadian Surface Combatant program.
• Other Potential Naval Applications: SPY-7 technology is planned for other naval applications, including Spain's F-110 multi-mission frigates and Canada's River-class destroyers.

• Early Warning: Provides early warning capabilities against various threats.
• Situational Awareness: Enhances situational awareness.
• Tactical Surveillance: Used for tactical surveillance operations.
• Air Defense: Provides air defense capabilities.
• Ballistic Missile Defense: Capable of detecting, tracking, and engaging complex ballistic missiles, and advanced air threats.
• Discrimination: LRDR, upon which the AN/SPY-7 is based, is designed to distinguish between incoming warheads and decoys.
