U.S. Army orders additional counter-fire target acquisition radar

"Soldiers can rapidly deploy the truck-mounted Q-53 and quickly determine the source of enemy fire," said Bob Stelmack, Q-53 program manager for Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training. "The 55 systems Lockheed Martin has delivered to the U.S. Army give troops proven, advanced protection when they need it most."

Lockheed Martin has won a contracts for 97 systems so far and last June was tapped to upgrade 19 of the 55 systems already delivered to accommodate new technical advances.
