Lockheed Martin delivers first SPY-7 radar set for Japan's ASEV warship

Lockheed Martin Vice President of Multi-Domain Combat Solutions Chandra Marshall, stated that full system integration and testing with the four newly delivered antennas will take place at the company's production test center (PTC) in Moorestown, New Jersey, this year before the equipment is delivered to Japan. This process is intended to reduce integration risk.

The SPY-7 radar is also being produced for Canada’s new River-class destroyers and Spain’s F-110 frigates. A land-based version of the radar is used by the US for its Guam defense system and successfully intercepted a mid-range ballistic missile during a flight test in December 2024, according to Lockheed Martin.
