“Multiple industry sources have briefed CRS on their proposals for modifying the DDG-51 design to include an active-array radar with greater capability than the SPY-1.
POWER SPY 2014 UPDATE
In 2009, the US Congressional Research Services’ “ Navy DDG-1000 and DDG-51 Destroyer Programs: Background, Oversight Issues, and Options for Congress” report update (#R元2109) explained the potential impact: Even if that space exists, the additional equipment and antennas must be installed without unduly affecting the ship’s balance and center of gravity, and hence its seakeeping abilities. All of which are usually in short supply on a warship. Power storage, power conversion, and cooling require weight and space. More power also means more cooling much of the time. More powerful radars usually need more power to drive them, which can tax the limited 7.5 MW capacity an older ship like the DDG-51 Flight I/II/IIAs. Most of its weight and space comes from its need for 2 things: power, and cooling. The visible face of a naval radar is only the tip of the iceberg. The bad news is that any retrofit, or even installation in new “DDG-51 Flight III” variants, will be more complicated than it appears. AMDR offers them the opportunity to find a suitable ship based on a known and understood core system.

It would also mean that each AMDR hardware or software improvement becomes available improve many more ships throughout the fleet.Īt the larger end of the scale, it’s good news because the US Navy has determined that it needs a 20’+ diameter AMDR-S radar, in order to completely fulfill expected future ballistic missile defense and air defense needs. More ships mounting AMDR would reduce fleet-wide maintenance & training investments. On the smaller end, it’s very nice to have AMDR capabilities available in a common core system for a wider range of vessels. If the adjustments can be taken far enough, it could give the Navy an opportunity to add or retrofit AMDR to some of its 60+ serving Arleigh Burke Class ships, DDG-1000 Zumwalt Class destroyers, or later carriers of the CVN-78 Gerald R. The demand for adjustable size is the key to AMDR’s larger opportunity.

The limitations of the DDG-51 ship design forced some flexibility all by itself, and the initial specification added that it’s “designed to be scalable to accommodate current and future mission requirements for multiple platforms.”

While top-tier air and missile defense vessels are “blue water” ships by nature, critical naval chokepoints and war scenarios don’t always give commanders a choice. The AMDR-S radar will provide wide-area volume search, tracking, Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) discrimination, and missile communications.The resulting AMDR radar will have 3 components: Rather than extending or modifying the existing Dual Band Radar combination used on its DDG-1000 Zumwalt Class, aimed to fulfill these need through a re-opened competition.
