Successful First Flights Conducted Using Northrop Grumman-Developed Radar for F-35 Joint Strike Fighter
Northrop Grumman Corporation has begun initial flight testing of the AN/APG-81 for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft.
The radar was first flown on Aug. 23 and 25 on Northrop Grumman's BAC-1-11 testbed aircraft.
During the flights, the all-aspect search, air-track and synthetic-aperture radar mode capabilities of the radar were successfully evaluated against airborne and ground-based targets.
