"We are delighted to collaborate with Mobileye to accelerate the availability of advanced imaging radars in the market. “WNC’s experience and accomplishments as an automotive supplier can help us bring this much-needed innovation to the market by our original targeted timeline and at the expected quality.” Mobileye (Nasdaq: MBLY) leads the mobility revolution with its autonomous driving and driver-assistance technologies, harnessing world-renowned expertise in computer vision, artificial intelligence, mapping, and data analysis. Imaging radar can also play a role in more advanced hands-free ADAS solutions as an alternative to LiDAR solutions, which are typically far more expensive. Known as software-defined imaging radar, or 4D radar, the technology will play a key role in bringing autonomous vehicles and the most advanced forms of driver-assistance technology to life. Thanks to an integrated system-on-chip design that maximizes processor efficiency, and world-leading algorithms for interpreting radar data, Mobileye’s imaging radars deliver a detailed, four-dimensional image of surroundings up to 1,000 feet away and beyond.

US could have new radars on its F-35s that other countries don't (Interesting Engineering)

The F-35 Lightning II stealth aircraft used by the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps is set to get a new radar system called the AN/APG-85 as part of ...

With the capabilities of the new radar undisclosed and advanced features of Block 4 upgrades still a fair distance away, the U.S. Since F-35s are also purchased by others such as the U.K., [countries in Europe](https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/switzerland-just-ordered-dozens-of-f-35s-despite-opposition), and Southeast Asia, it is likely that the U.S. The F-35's core processor, memory, and panoramic cockpit display systems are expected to be revamped in this deal, which is referred to as Technology Refresh 3(TR-3). The radar configuration on the F-35s is currently referred to as AN/APG-81 and is a solid-state active electronically scanned array (AESA). Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps is set to get a new radar system called the AN/APG-85 as part of the planned upgrades, [Northrop Grumman's webpage](https://www.northropgrumman.com/what-we-do/an-apg-81-active-electronically-scanned-array-aesa-fire-control-radar/) is expected to be the standard fitment for the F-35s well into 2035.
