Press Release, Syracuse NY, 16 December 2025: The Danish Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) has selected Lockheed Martin’s TPY-4 next-generation ground-based air surveillance radar to enhance Denmark’s long-range air defence 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-defence 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 defence 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 programme. Lockheed Martin leverages an extensive European supplier base, making this and other international radar efforts a US–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.
