SUDBURY, Mass. (NNS) -- The Air and Missile Defense Radar
(AMDR) program, AN/SPY-6(V), successfully completed its System Critical Design
Review (CDR) April 29 the Navy reported May 15.
The review assessed the complete radar system design
baseline including its readiness for incorporation into Flight III of the
Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) class guided-missile destroyer. The CDR assessed system
performance, and included a thorough review of all design information to ensure
that the system will meet required specifications within cost and schedule
constraints.
"The System CDR is the latest in the series of major
program milestones executed exactly on schedule," said Capt. Doug Small,
Above Water Sensors Major program manager, Program Executive Office Integrated
Warfare Systems (PEO IWS). "Completion of this review demonstrates that
the technical and design maturity of the system is exactly where it needs to be
for Flight III DDG 51."
The program will now proceed to the test and evaluation
phase, starting with indoor range testing of the end-to-end radar system in
June.
The Navy awarded the contract for AMDR Engineering and
Manufacturing Development (EMD) efforts to Raytheon in October 2013. The System
CDR was the sixth major design review on this contract.
The culmination of over a decade of Navy investment in
advanced radar technology, AMDR is being designed to provide the U.S. Navy with
state-of-the-art technology for Integrated Air and Missile Defense through the
Aegis Combat System.
Program Executive Office (PEO) Integrated Warfare Systems,
an affiliated PEO of the Naval Sea Systems Command, manages surface ship and
submarine combat technologies and systems and coordinates Navy enterprise
solutions across ship platforms.
