Raytheon SPY-6 Radar at SNA 2023

[@CheapSushi]

Very cool system and I saw the video of their facility building them. Makes me very proud to be American and how much dedication and work goes into all of this to keep us and our partners on top of things.

[@sammyoptional2017]

son's in a-school in Il. AECF and he says he's interested in the spy radar system

[@sammyoptional2017]

i hope I have the acronym is correct

[@CuriousPersonUSA]

This was a very informative video. Thank you!

[@NavalNews]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!

[@AugmentedGravity]

Great video and great spokes person. The SPY-1 is already fantastic but the SPY-6 is going to be insane

Unfortunately, when I see the leaps and bounds of Space X with Starlinks makes me think SPY6 is outdated this technology by a factor of 50x. In addition, the US NAVY tends to go with proven technology that has been around for 20 years or more.

[@Forevertrue]

I love to hear further away, which means more time to react for systems and personnel.

The real question is whether it can reheat a pizza faster than a conventional microwave oven.

[@blueberrywilbur315]

Wouldn’t that be bad though 😂 not for the pizza heating of course

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Answer: yes.

[@justsayingforafriend7010]

As a matter of fact it can and I've seen it done!!! One day in San Diego 32nd Street. Some dummy turned onto spy radar pierside. It turned off every vehicle on the pier, electric golf cars too include My 200 ton Crane. So yeah it can cook a pizza in about 1.5 seconds!

All good news for my former Raytheon program.

S band aesa single-face rotator market competition * SPY6 V2 - US * ELM2258 ALPHA - Israel * Saab 1A - Sweden * NS100 series - Netherland Four fixed panels * SPY6 V1 V3 V4 - US * ELM2248 Adir - Israel * SeaFire - France * Type346 - China

[@chesterlynch9533]

Saab Giraffe 1X is an X-band short range radar rotator. Saab Girraffe 4A and 8A is an S-band rotator though there's also 4 face panel variant of Saab Girraffe 4A. Thales also have SM-400 which is 4 face panel S-band radar aside from their NS100 and NS200 rotators. Korea is building their own S and X band 4 faced panel radars for their future frigates and destroyers.

[@watermirror]

@@chesterlynch9533 I didn't say 1X. I simply missed on number 4, it's been a long time. But thanks for pointing that anyway

[@chesterlynch9533]

CEAFAR?

[@Markus117d]

Unless your expecting mars to launch missile's at you there's a diminishing return on just throwing power out there, The Radar horizon is still going to be a limiting factor. In detecting threats closer to earth. Having a powerful but heavy radar mounted lower won't see as far in terrestrial terms as a lighter but less powerful radar able to be mounted higher above the water can..

[@CheapSushi]

It's really interesting seeing some of the Arleigh Burke "clone" ships because they mount the main radars a bit higher, like the Japanese DDGs. But like you said, there's got to be some kind of limiter at the end because of the horizon, mount height and mount points. But I like that they mentioned other capabilities such as this brings along dual usage or simultaneous usage. I'm assuming other radars could only do one type of task at a time. And more power I assume means more sensitivity, so maybe they can pick up newer aircraft and stand off weapons better. Glad the US Navy is putting these practically everywhere.

[@ARCNA442]

You're ignoring stealth aircraft and the fact that Aegis now plays a role in ICBM defense - two high flying targets that you need a very powerful radar to counter. Low flying missiles can be much better countered by the E-2D than any surface radar, no matter how high you mount it.

[@Markus117d]

@@ARCNA442 And if you're in the middle of the Atlantic or pacific where would the missiles likely have come from? Aircraft or warships that's where. Which with a wider radar horizon you could detect before they get even closer.. depending on airborne early warning aircraft is all very well, But such aircraft are relatively low in numbers and are priority targets..

[@willw8011]

It is a trade off like everything. It has benefits and detractions. The radar is mostly for intercepting sea skimming missiles and also ballistic missiles. The USA mostly uses DDGs in carrier battle groups. The carrier will have a radar too and it will be higher. The USA also has a lot of UAV, P-8 and E-2 aircraft, which flying higher than any ship mounted radar. There are also satellites with radar systems too. Oh BTW, mounting a radar a few meters/ yards higher is not going to change the horizonal distance by that much.

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

[@baotrungnguyen3301]

so, SPY-6 vs SPY-7, which is better?

Why rotate vs multiple flat panels?

[@rael5469]

"Why rotate vs multiple flat panels?" After watching the video I think the rotating unit is smaller and therefore less expensive. I think they would use a less expensive version in some applications because they aren't necessarily in the first row facing the enemy. The Destroyers would be front and center and so would need the top of the line equipment. The ships being protected by the destroyers probably don't need to break the bank buying their radar since the Destroyers have already got that covered.

[@AugmentedGravity]

Space. Design. Cost. Requirements. Rolles.

[@admiralmallard7500]

Plus alot of the ships being fitted with rotating arrays were designed with older rotating arrays, would be hard to backfit multiple fixed arrays

[@spikedpsycho2383]

That will require twice much electricity previous system.

@@AugmentedGravity military intelligience collection. Need the exercise troops and others to emit for "allies" to collect data and decrypt and formulate electronics-warfare strategies-policies. Some countries use passive to get intel. Some countries have one-sided lop-sided brute-force emitting-scanning strategies and expects the same of other countries but detecting none, they get unsettled. Need to scan the skies with old frequencies and modulation to masquerade new equipment as old equipment i guess... ambient electronics noise-emmissions are the emitters for passive receivers against stealth(minimum 2 distanced transmitters to detect a blackhole)... EMI, EMF ambient radio-frequency noise are radio-frequency signature (cities and countries and mobile communication towers) for inertia navigation and targetting and also detect absorbsion of stealth materials... nevermind if you don't understand.
