Northrop Grumman is the principal contractor for the delivery of AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR systems to the USMC.  

In February, the USMC awarded a contract to Northrop Grumman for two additional AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR systems.  

The AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR is a long-range multi-mission air surveillance system designed to provide complete air and missile defence surveillance. 

It can detect, identify and track airborne threats.  

Saab US president and CEO Erik Smith said: “Through Saab’s strong partnership with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, we continue to advance the G/ATOR programme in support of the US Marine Corps.  

“Each delivery of the G/ATOR system improves the capability and effectiveness of our Armed Forces and represents Saab’s enduring commitment to advancing the safety and security of our US stakeholders.”
