Lockheed Martin and Navantia to integrate SPY-7(V)2 radar with Aegis on Spain’s F-110 frigates

Lockheed Martin and Navantia have completed the first live tracking exercise with the AN/SPY-7(V)2 radar for Spain’s F-110 frigates and are preparing to integrate it with the International Aegis Fire Control Loop. Integration work is planned on several ships and at a shore-based test facility, with the radar’s modular architecture allowing changes in capacity through additional modules. Navantia recently launched Roger de Lauria, the second F-110, and is working toward launching one frigate per year. Lockheed Martin has separately outlined a potential Flight II variant with enhanced air and missile defense capabilities.
