Insights
RTX's new GaN-enhanced APG-82(V)X radar delivers significant combat advantages through increased range and processing capabilities, strengthening their defense portfolio.
RTX has unveiled an enhanced version of their combat-proven APG-82 radar system incorporating gallium nitride (GaN) technology, which represents a significant technological leap. This new variant, designated APG-82(V)X, delivers three critical combat advantages: increased detection range, improved processing speed, and enhanced multi-function capabilities without requiring additional power input.
The technical architecture employs thousands of transmit/receive modules in an active electronically scanned array (AESA) configuration, enabling rapid switching between transmission and reception functions. This design dramatically improves reliability while providing more precise targeting against various aerial threats including cruise missiles, drones, and modern fighter aircraft.
What's particularly notable is how this enhancement addresses the evolving threat landscape by providing what defense strategists call "first-look, first-shoot advantage" - the ability to detect and engage threats at significantly longer ranges than previously possible. This capability is increasingly critical in contested environments where electromagnetic spectrum superiority determines survival.
From a manufacturing perspective, RTX is leveraging existing production infrastructure - development in El Segundo, California with production utilizing mature manufacturing lines in Forest, Mississippi. The system's open architecture design ensures scalability and future compatibility, positioning it as a long-term defense solution rather than a short-term technological increment.
This radar advancement strengthens RTX's position in the advanced military sensors market, which is increasingly prioritized in defense budgets worldwide as electronic warfare capabilities become central to modern military strategy.
Next-generation radar offers increased range and improved processing speed to combat emerging threats
APG-82(V)X enables faster target detection, tracking and engagement with multi-function fire control and electronic warfare capabilities. As an advanced active electronically scanned array radar, it uses thousands of transmit and receive modules, which enable the radar to rapidly switch between transmitting and receiving signals, providing greater reliability and more precise targeting against aerial threats like cruise missiles, drones and modern fighter aircraft.
"The enhanced capability of this next-generation radar enables aircrew to detect and engage threats at longer ranges than ever before, providing a crucial first-look, first-shoot advantage," said Dan Theisen, president of Advanced Products and Solutions at Raytheon. "As the threat environment evolves, this new radar will ensure faster decision making and superior situational awareness in contested environments."
The APG-82(V)X radar incorporates GaN technology, which provides greater range without needing additional power. It's scalable and built with open architecture standards, with next generation technology and improved processor speed, providing significantly increased capability to current and future generation aircraft.
