TriQuint's Director of Military Products Marketing, Dr. Gailon Brehm, said the new devices are the latest products to be developed for Lockheed Martin Corporation in a relationship that has also included work on radar programs for shipborne and aircraft systems. The die-level products in Lockheed's transmit/receive (T/R) modules will support the initial production of five mobile systems being developed along an aggressive timetable. Lockheed Martin demonstrated a fully-operational prototype of the EQ-36 Counterfire Target Acquisition Radar at the Association for the United States Army (AUSA)'s 2007 exposition in October.

TriQuint is now in its initial production phase for the EQ-36 program that will deliver devices throughout a multi-year cycle. Lockheed Martin indicated in October its first five production units were part of an approximately $120 million contract awarded by the U.S. Army.
