Investing.com -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: NYSE:LMT) has successfully integrated its AN/TPQ-53 multi-mission radar (MMR) with the Joint Task Force – Southern Border (JTF-SB) command and control systems on March 19, 2025. The integration supports the U.S. Northern Command’s (USNORTHCOM) mission at the southern border.
The AN/TPQ-53 MMR’s open architecture design allows for seamless integration with various sensors and systems, offering a unified operational picture. The system’s flexibility allows for quick incorporation of new capabilities and advanced software, providing service members with necessary tools to respond to emerging threats before they have a chance to adapt.
Rick Cordaro, Lockheed Martin’s vice president and general manager of Radar Sensors and Systems, highlighted the successful integration of the AN/TPQ-53 MMR in the southern border deployment. He stressed the importance of collaboration between industry, government agencies like the Department of Defense’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office, and end-users in addressing complex challenges. Cordaro noted that the AN/TPQ-53 MMR’s proven performance and reliability have made it a trusted asset. Its open architecture design ensures it will continue to be a crucial component of USNORTHCOM’s mission to work with Customs and Border Protection to secure the southern border.
The USNORTHCOM southern border mission requires the ability to detect and track various threats, from airborne to ground-based. The AN/TPQ-53 MMR is designed to meet this requirement, offering agile and precise 360-degree scanning that can be deployed in under five minutes. The system identifies quick threats, such as unmanned aerial systems, enabling service members to detect and respond rapidly and effectively.
The integration of the AN/TPQ-53 MMR with the JTF-SB follows recent demonstrations, Northern Strike and Desert Guardian 1.0. These demonstrations highlighted the AN/TPQ-53’s ability to swiftly adopt software updates and meet urgent national security priorities.
