Hundreds of engineers and technicians from all over the United States are working to build the new US Navy SPY 6 radar system, defined as the world's most advanced and sophisticated radar, designed to protect fleet ships from missiles and aircraft.

The radar, whose operational details are not published, is being built by Raytheon at a facility located in Andover, Massachusetts. The first system is already in the experimental phase. Lucas. System Integration Engineer Larry Mancini updated a team of 500 professionals from 25 different U.S. states. According to Defense News, the new radar is an "advanced son" in a radar family already used to protect ships Fleet from missiles and fighter jets.



The giant radar system is built around the clock like a small town, on three daily shifts, with status assessments twice a day to meet the development and supply schedule for the fleet.

The SPY-6 radar for the Flight 3s are 100 times more sensitive than SPY-1s. More than three times as sensitive than initially expected. No doubt it’s the most powerful radar in the world.
