The Navy has two options to upgrade its radar capabilities. One is an upgrade of the SPY-1 radar. I believe that this option would meet all the Navy Theater Wide system requirements while also meeting the projected cruise missile threat. The other option is a single-purpose radar system that would be mounted in the superstructure of an Aegis cruiser. The Navy has not taken a formal position on which option they believe is preferable. I believe and I strongly believe this SPY-1 upgrade is the right alternative, and I believe we need to get started on a radar development now to support the NTW mission and the new interceptor.
