Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radars
With more than 25 years of experience, Northrop Grumman is the world leader in Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar.
AESA Radar Highlight: Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR)
Northrop Grumman's Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR), designed specifically for the F-16, is the newest addition to the Northrop Grumman robust family of multi-function sensors. By leveraging Northrop Grumman's world-leading AESA technology base, SABR maximizes radar system performance within existing F-16 allocations.
SABR — a full performance fire control AESA — supports next-generation weapons and tactics in the presence of the world's densely-packed electronic threat environment. Our SABR system has accumulated thousands of operating hours in the lab and in the air without failure, demonstrating superior operational performance and reliability. The antenna has proven as robust as any of the other 5th generation AESAs Northrop Grumman has produced. SABR takes advantage of Northrop Grumman's world-leading processes established for rapid, accurate production of the APG-77, APG-77(V) 1, APG-80, and APG-81. Learn more about SABR.
