The post describes the AN/SPY-6(V)4 (AMDR Backfit) radar reaching land-based integration testing as a precursor to the first installation on a Flight IIA Arleigh Burke (USS Pinckney). This modernization pairs SPY-6(V)4 with Aegis Baseline 10 and complements SEWIP Block III (AN/SLQ-32(V)7), materially improving air/missile defense tracking and discrimination versus legacy SPY-1D.
