Northrop To Propose GaN-based LTAMDS solution to US Army

Northrop Grumman has demonstrated a Gallium Nitride (GaN)- based Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) to the US Army and will deliver its final LTAMDS proposal to the Army in the coming weeks for evaluation.

The company’s gallium nitride (GaN)-based design leverages advanced, in-production and fielded technologies from its active electronically scanned array (AESA) portfolio.

The system provides a 360-degree full-sector mission capability. Designed from the outset to meet the warfighters’ current and future needs, Northrop Grumman’s LTAMDS solution aligns with the Army’s top requirements, including speed to field. An embedded logistics capability enables quicker and more affordable modernization and better sustainability over the life-cycle of the program.
