Long Range Solid-State Radar
Lockheed Martin FPS-117
Long Range Solid-State Radar
The World’s Leading 3D Surveillance Radar
NATO certified and proven in more locations around-
the-world than any radar in its class, the FPS-117
Long Range Radar offers superior performance in
real-world environments thanks to its state-of-the-art
solid-state design and L-Band operation. This lower
frequency band combined with the FPS-117’s
Advanced Pencil Beam Architecture allows for
exceptional detection and tracking as well as out-
standing adaptability to changing environmental con-
ditions.
With its highly reliable all solid-state components,
continuous automatic performance monitoring, and
ease of maintenance, the FPS-117 is second-to-none
in system availability and low cost of ownership. The
FPS-117 Long Range Radar provides both air surveil-
lance and en route air traffic control.
More than 120 Systems

in Operation Worldwide
Lockheed Martin solid-state radar is the radar of choice
for over 15 nations on six continents. These systems
have accumulated over 1000 system-years of operating
experience and are adding one more year every four
days. More FPS-117 systems are in operation today
than all other competitive radars combined assuring
worldwide support.

Advanced Pencil Beam Architecture for Superior Overall

Performance and Adaptability
The FPS-117 pencil beam capability

allows complete flexibility in
customizing the beam patterns
to optimize performance in
challenging terrain and
clutter applications. The
pencil beam architecture
offers the flexibility to
“look down” from elevat-
ed sites to detect aircraft
in valleys. The system also
can automatically reconfig-
ure to address changing envi-
ronmental conditions.
Proven Performance…
Now Available in a Tactically
Transportable Package
The transportable version of Lockheed Martin’s FPS-117 – the TPS-77

Tactical Transportable Radar – combines the best of the FPS-117’s per-
formance, reliability and low cost of ownership. The antenna array and
electronics shelter are both standard ISO packages for simplified trans-
port loading. The radar can be configured for C-130, C-17, truck, rail or
helicopter transport.
