Lockheed Martin Delivers Second Shipment of Aegis System Equipped Vessel Shipsets and AN/SPY-7(V)1 Radar Equipment to Japan

MOORESTOWN, N.J. March 12, 2026 - Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), successfully delivered the second Aegis System Equipped Vessel (ASEV) shipset of AN/SPY-7(V)1 radar equipment to the Japan Ministry of Defense (JMOD). The delivery was facilitated through Mitsubishi Corporation under a Direct Commercial Sale arrangement.

"The successful on-time delivery of all equipment for the second ASEV shipment showcases the speed at which we are delivering to our customers in Japan, while demonstrating the maturity and scalability of the SPY-7 radar," said Chandra Marshall, vice president of Multi-Domain Combat Solutions at Lockheed Martin.

Moving with Speed

In June 2025, Lockheed Martin completed the delivery of the first shipment of Aegis System Equipped Vessel AN/SPY-7(V)1 radar equipment to Japan. Achieving all delivery milestones demonstrates Lockheed Martin's commitment to strengthening defense capabilities throughout the Indo-Pacific.

Full system integration and testing of the complete second shipset of equipment will be conducted prior to final equipment delivery to Japan, which significantly reduces integration risk and enables on-schedule commissioning.

The JMOD is acquiring two ASEVs, and both are on track for commissioning in Japan Fiscal Year 2027 and 2028.

The SPY-7 Advantage

With advanced detection and tracking capabilities, SPY-7 counters complex threats, while enabling engagement of multiple targets and enhancing the effectiveness of naval forces in a constantly evolving environment.

The selection of Lockheed Martin's solid-state radar by both the U.S. and multiple international allies demonstrates the world-class capability and maturity of the radar.
