Radar
MPP is a major supplier of microwave and millimeter-wave components and subsystems which generate and control radio frequency (RF) power in radars and radar-based sensors. MPP's products support military and commercial systems worldwide.
Missile Seekers:
Active radar seekers are the eyes of many modern “fire and forget” missiles. Once launched, active seekers give the weapon the ability to locate and identify its target independent of external control. Many modern radar seekers - from anti-ship missiles (Harpoon) to air defense systems (Patriot) to missile defense systems (PAC3) - rely on MPP components to achieve the performance and reliability needed to perform their missions.Airborne Systems:
Modern aircraft depend on a variety of internal radar systems to perform their missions. Aircraft employ radars for navigation, terrain following, ground mapping, air and ground surveillance and weapons control. MPP's components and subsystems are used in virtually every major airborne system operated by the U.S. military, as well as its international allies.Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs):
UAVs add a unique dimension to airborne surveillance and combat activities. Carrying cameras, sensors, communications equipment and other payloads, they are critical in reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering activities. UAVs are also employed in combat roles. They fly short-range tactical missions or long-range endurance missions where they can loiter for up to 24 hours, thousands of miles from base. MPP's components support radar, data link and self-protection systems found in many of today's UAVs.Ground-based Systems:
MPP is a major worldwide supplier of components for many commercial and military ground-based radar systems, such as:- Commercial weather radars and air traffic control systems for air surveillance, air route surveillance, airport surface detection equipment and approach control and landing systems.
- Military radars for air surveillance and tracking, air defense, ground surveillance, missile control and artillery locating systems.
- Radar simulators and range tracking systems.
- Satellite tracking systems.
