The United States has successfully tested a long-range radar for detecting missile threats from Russia and China

The United States has successfully tested a long-range radar that can be used to detect missile threats from Russia or China, and it may become a sensor for the US "Dome" missile defense system in the future.

Reuters reported that the Pentagon of the United States said on Tuesday (June 24) that the long-range radar test conducted in central Alaska successfully obtained, tracked and reported data on missile targets. These tasks are the key tasks of the "Golden Dome" project in the United States. This project cost 175 billion US dollars and aims to protect the United States and its Allies from ballistic missile attacks.

This "Long Range Discrimination Radar" (LRDR for short) was built by Lockheed Martin and is part of The existing land-based midcourse defense missile defense system of the United States. Its purpose is to enhance the combat effectiveness of interceptors deployed in Alaska and California. These interceptors are currently on standby, ready to intercept incoming missiles launched by Iran or North Korea.

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) of the United States, the United States Space Force and the United States Northern Command conducted this flight test at the Alaska Airspace Force Station on Monday.

During the test, the threat target developed by the Missile Defense Agency was launched over the North Pacific Ocean and flew 2,000 kilometers off the southern coast of Alaska, where it was tracked by long-range identification radar.

The US "Dome" missile defense system aims to establish a satellite network to detect, track and intercept incoming missiles.
