Radar Costs What???!
Northrop Grumman has received an $84M contract to deliver 12 AN/SPQ-9B radar systems, combat interface kits and a technical data package. That's $7M per radar!
As radars go, this is about as small and simple as it gets. It's an old style rotating antenna, for goodness sake and it's been in production since 2002 so this is just routine production. We're talking just electronics, motors, and circuit boards.
This is seriously messed up. You could get Tibetan monks to lovingly handcraft these radars and carry them across the Himalayas on the backs of Leprechauns for less money than this. Are these things made out of Mithril and Adamantium?
The Navy needs to do some serious investigation into alternate supply sources.
