The AN/APG-81 is an active electronically scanned array (AESA) fire-control radar designed by Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems (formerly Westinghouse Electronic Systems) for Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II.
The APG-81 is a successor radar to the F-22 Raptor’s AN/APG-77, and has an antenna composed of 1,676 transceivers. Over three thousand APG-81 AESA systems are expected to be ordered for the F-35, with production to run beyond 2035, including large quantities of international orders.
