Lockheed Martin has broken ground for a $15-million, 9600-foot radar test facility that will provide one of the world’s most advanced large antenna measurement systems. The 80-foot tall structure will be added on to the existing EP-6 building in Syracuse, NY. Slated for completion in summer 2009, this facility will house one of the world’s largest high-precision, spherical near-field radar test and measurement systems. One of the key components of this facility will be an electromagnetically-shielded anechoic chamber. Lined with special foams to absorb radio frequency (RF) radiation and to suppress any potential interference from external acoustics and frequencies, this chamber will provide enhanced security for the testing of critical government equipment.
