Special Operations Command Expands Terrain Following Radar
The US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is seeking to make its Silent Knight terrain following radar exportable, following its successful deployment on several aircraft types. The radar, currently fielded on the MC-130J, CV-22, MH-47, and MH-60 fleets, has proven effective in operations. SOCOM’s move to share the technology with allies may signal a new era of cooperation and could have significant implications for the global defense landscape, as reported by Aviation Week.
