Saab's U.S. subsidiary has been contracted to provide components and sub-systems of the U.S. Marine Corps AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar system.

The award was issued by Northrop Grumman and carries a value of $32 million.

Northrop Grumman is the prime contractor for the G/ATOR program. Its contract to Saab Defense and Security USA is for the first four low-rate initial production G/ATOR units that will be integrated by Northrop Grumman.

G/ATOR will gives Marines a single radar for air surveillance, air defense, locating ground weapons, and for air traffic control operations.

"We are proud to be a part of this important next-generation radar program for the U.S. Marine Corps and look forward to our continued collaboration with Northrop Grumman," said Micael Johansson, head of Saab Electronic Defense Systems business area. "The contract is further proof that Saab is an attractive partner, supplying world-class technology to a broad customer base across the radar market."
