The radar that rewrites itself

SMRTR summary

Raytheon has developed a next-generation radar system that replaces rigid, hardware-locked designs with software-defined technology. Traditional radar systems took years or decades to upgrade, leaving military forces vulnerable as threats evolved faster than equipment could be replaced. Raytheon's new approach allows the radar's aperture to dynamically adapt its function through software, making the system far more flexible and responsive to changing battlefield conditions.
