Lockheed Martin integrates AN/TPQ-53 radar with Southern Border command systems

Lockheed Martin has successfully integrated its AN/TPQ-53 multi-mission radar (MMR) with the Joint Task Force – Southern Border (JTF-SB) command and control systems in an operational environment, supporting U.S. Northern Command's (USNORTHCOM) southern border mission.

The AN/TPQ-53 MMR's open architecture design allows seamless integration with a variety of sensors and systems, providing a unified operational picture. This flexibility enables the system to quickly incorporate new capabilities and cutting-edge software, ensuring service members have the necessary tools to respond to emerging threats before they can adapt.

The USNORTHCOM southern border mission demands the capability to detect and track various threats, ranging from airborne to ground-based threats. The AN/TPQ-53 MMR is built to address this demand, offering agile and precise 360-degree scanning that can be deployed in under five minutes. The system identifies rapid threats, such as unmanned aerial systems , enabling service members to swiftly detect and respond with agility.

This integration with the JTF-SB follows recent demonstrations Northern Strike and Desert Guardian 1.0 highlighting AN/TPQ-53's ability to quickly adopt software updates and meet urgent national security priorities.
