The AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR will support air defence, air surveillance, and ground weapon locating missions.

It will allow the USMC to replace five legacy systems with a single ground-based radar system.

The new system will provide improved performance and reduce costs associated with maintenance and training.

Saab will perform the contract work in Syracuse, New York. The company was awarded the initial order for the low rate initial production G/ATOR systems in 2014.

Northrop Grumman was awarded a $958m contract by the USMC for Lot 6 full-rate production of the advanced active electronically scanned array (AESA) multi-mission radar systems.

The company will deliver 30 additional G/ATOR systems under the contract.
