“This is a major step forward in integrated deterrence,” said Rick Cordaro, vice president of Radar and Sensor Systems at Lockheed Martin. “The TPY-4 radar’s advanced capabilities strengthen interoperability across allied air-defense networks, ensuring Denmark and its regional partners can respond rapidly to evolving threats.”
The delivery of three TPY-4 radars, with an option for a fourth, will support the Royal Danish Air Force and contribute to NATO’s collective security. The solid-state, phased-array radar detects and tracks airborne targets in real time and features an open-architecture design that allows integration with existing air and missile defence systems.
Lockheed Martin said the TPY-4 enhances interoperability between Denmark, regional partners and NATO forces, helping allies maintain a technological edge as threats evolve. The radar is designed for mobility, reliability and global deployment, with Lockheed Martin radar systems currently in use by more than 45 nations worldwide.
European industry partnerships play a key role in the TPY-4 programme, with Lockheed Martin working with a broad European supplier base. The company’s long-standing cooperation with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace supported production of the first TPY-4, including the Platform Electronics System, and most recently saw Kongsberg assemble the first TPY-4 produced by an international partner.
