Raytheon has been selected by the US Marine Corps (USMC) to replace the radars of its Boeing F/A-18 legacy Hornets with a new active electronically scanned array (AESA) system.

Raytheon is to fit its AN/APG-79(V)4 AESA radar to 98 USMC F-A-18C/D Hornet aircraft between 2020 and 2022. (Raytheon)

The company announced on 15 January that it will fit its AN/APG-79(V)4 AESA radar to equip the USMC’s F/A-18C/D Hornet fleet, replacing its own AN/APG-73. Deliveries will run from 2020 through to 2022. No contract value was disclosed.

As noted by Raytheon, the AN/APG-79(V)4 is a scaled version of the AN/APG-79 AESA radar already fitted to the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler, and shares 90% commonality for synergies in maintenance and support. The USMC will benefit from the same global sustainment and upgrade path already in place for the AN/APG-79.
