US contractor Lockheed Martin and Japanese company Fujitsu Limited confirmed in a release on 22 May they had reached a memorandum of understanding (MOU) establishing Fujitsu as a source for the SPY-7 Subarray Suite Power Supply Line Replaceable Unit (PS LRU).
The two companies had signed an MOU in 2024 to expand Lockheed Martin's solid-state radar production and sustainment in Japan.
Lockheed Martin has been delivering systems and sensors to outfit the Japanese Kongō-, Atago- and Maya-class destroyers for more than three decades.
“By locally manufacturing critical components for the SPY-7 radar, Japan can have complete confidence that this system will be fully supported and sustained for decades to come,” Paul Lemmo, Lockheed Martin vice-president and general manager, said in a statement.
“Fujitsu will further expand its collaboration with Lockheed Martin on the SPY-7 radar, contributing to its sustainment in Japan,” Tsuneo Hayashi, Fujitsu Limited corporate executive officer, said in a statement.
