Lockheed Martin broke ground July 11 on a $15 million, 9,600 square foot radar test facility that will provide the company with one of the world’s most advanced, large-antenna measurement systems. The new 80’ tall structure will be added on to the existing EP-6 building at Lockheed Martin’s Radar Systems facility in Syracuse, NY. Once complete in summer 2009, the facility will house one of the largest high-precision, spherical near-field radar test and measurement systems.A key component of the facility will be its electromagnetically-shielded anechoic chamber. Lined with special foam to absorbs radio frequency (RF) radiation and suppress potentially interfering external acoustics and frequencies, the chamber will provide greater test security of sensitive government equipment.Learn more at the Lockheed Martinweb site.
