Lockheed Martin recently integrated its Q-53 multi-mission radar (MMR) with Anduril Industries' Lattice Command and Control (C2) system during the Desert Guardian exercise at Fort Drum.
The test was overseen by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) to improve detection and tracking of drone threats.
The integration allowed the Q-53 radar to share data quickly, creating a unified air picture and enhancing operator awareness.
Following the exercise, Lockheed Martin aims to further test the Q-53 MMR radar and Lattice C2 network in a Middle East CENTCOM-led exercise, refining sensor integration for seamless data sharing in complex environments.
