SYRACUSE, N.Y., Dec. 16, 2025 — The Danish Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has selected Lockheed Martin’s TPY-4 next-generation ground-based air surveillance radar to enhance Denmark’s long-range air defense capabilities. Denmark is the fifth nation to adopt the system, joining a growing group of NATO partners integrating advanced radar technology.
“This is a major step forward in integrated deterrence,” said Rick Cordaro, vice president of Radar and Sensor Systems at Lockheed Martin. “The TPY-4 radar’s advanced capabilities strengthen interoperability across allied air-defense networks, ensuring Denmark and its regional partners can respond rapidly to evolving threats.”
The delivery of three TPY-4 radars, with an option for a fourth, will strengthen the Royal Danish Air Force and support NATO’s collective security. This state-of-the-art, solid-state, phased-array radar detects and tracks airborne targets in real time, and its open-architecture design enables seamless integration with existing air and missile defense systems. TPY-4 enhances interoperability among Denmark, regional partners, and NATO forces, helping allies maintain a technological edge in a rapidly evolving threat environment. Designed for mobility, reliability, and global deployment, Lockheed Martin radars are used by more than 45 nations across six continents.
Partnering With European Industry
European industry partnerships play a critical role in the TPY-4 program. Lockheed Martin leverages an extensive European supplier base, making this and other international radar efforts a U.S.–European industrial collaboration. The company’s longstanding relationship with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) supported production of the first TPY-4, including the Platform Electronics System built by KDA. Most recently, KDA assembled the first TPY-4 produced by an international partner.
