AN/SPN-35 Blk II Upgrade
Abstract
This program provides for the development, upgrade, redesign, integration, and testing of the AN/SPN-35C Block II upgrade required to extend the service life and ensure Fleet availability of the system until 2040. AN/SPN-35C is the Precision Approach Radar aboard LHA/LHD class ships and provides Mode III aircraft recovery capability, ensuring the safe approach and landing of all LH-class embarked aircraft during adverse weather & night conditions. The AN/SPN-35C Block II upgrade provides engineering efforts to develop an Active Electronically Steered Array (AESA) to replace the existing receiver-transmitter, pedestal, and antenna group, and to incorporate digital stabilization. Additionally, this effort includes the research and development of the AESA antenna's application to other existing precision approach and landing systems with the intent of improving commonality and reducing the logistics footprint of the inventory of current shipboard radar-guided precision approach and landing systems.
