Northrop Grumman to add ground capabilities to AN/TPS-80

The U.S. Marine Corps has given Northrop Grumman a $58,706,242 million contract to develop and test the Ground Weapon Locating Radar (GWLR) mode for the AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radar (G/ATOR).



The GWLR is an additional software update that gives the operator an ability to switch between air surveillance, air defense, ground weapon locating, and air traffic control through software.
