Facilities and infrastructure development for advanced S-Band phased array radar for US Space Fence program.
Using advanced solutions and independent approaches, our team partnered with clients to reimagine the possible and deliver some of the world’s smartest innovations. In early 2015, we began designing facilities and infrastructure for the Space Fence Radar System – the largest ground-based radar of its type ever constructed.
The Space Fence program, a new advanced ground-based S-Band phased array radar system, revolutionizes the way the US detects and tracks more than 200,000 objects orbiting in space and increases the ability to protect space-based assets by preventing collisions. The project is an upgrade to the US Air Force’s original Space Surveillance System, installed in the early 1960s.
For this project, our team leveraged its extensive engineering and construction expertise from across the globe to support Lockheed Martin in making their vision possible. This included the design of radar array buildings, mechanical buildings, operations buildings, power generation plants, and site work.
The US Space Force declared operational acceptance and initial operational capability of the Space Fence radar in March 2020.
