Lockheed Martin and Fujitsu signed a contract on February 12 for power supply units for the SPY-7 radar, integral to Japan's Aegis System Equipped Vessels. The PS LRU provides crucial power to the radar's Subarray Suite, ensuring performance in maritime conditions.

This contract follows a May 2025 MOU, marking the first procurement agreement. The SPY-7 radar is designed for ballistic missile defense and integrated air defense. Japan's Ministry of Defense has contracts for two ASEVs, expected to enter service in fiscal years 2027 and 2028. The SPY-7 will compete with Raytheon's SPY-6 radar for Japan's next-generation Aegis destroyers.
