The U.S. Navy has awarded Northrop Grumman Corp. a $198 million order for 608 silicon carbide-based power amplifier module spares for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye’s AN/APY-9 radar system. These modules amplify radio signals, enabling the aircraft’s long-range detection and surveillance capabilities. Silicon carbide transistors are crucial for their high power density, efficiency, and stable performance under high voltages and temperatures.
