AN/SPY-6 radar complex and its prospects

AFAR for the AN/SPY-6(V)1 complex during testing

At the request of the Navy, the US military industry developed and brought to production the promising shipborne radar system AN/SPY-6. With its help, in the future it is planned to improve the capabilities of ships to illuminate the situation and search for surface and air targets of various kinds. The first complex of the new type has already been installed on the carrier destroyer and put into operation, and in the future similar systems will be received by ships of other classes and types.

Concept and its implementation

History The current AN/SPY-6 project dates back to the early XNUMXs, when the US Navy began making plans for the further development of surface fleet. Various concepts were proposed and considered, providing for the construction of new ships or the modernization of existing ones. The issues of creating new radio engineering and radar systems were also explored. For a number of reasons, it was possible to formulate a general concept for the development of the fleet, taking into account all factors and threats, only by the beginning of the tenth years.

In accordance with the new plans, in 2010 the Pentagon launched a competition to develop a promising “S-band air and missile defense locator” Air and Missile Defense S-band Radar (AMDR-S), as well as a control system for it under the designation Radar Suite Controller (RSC). Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman soon presented their versions of the same products.

In October 2013, Raytheon was announced as the winner of the competition. The company was awarded a contract worth $386 million to complete the development and manufacture of an experimental radar complex. According to initial plans, the installation of the first radar system on the carrier ship was to take place by 2016. At this stage, the complex received the official designation AN/SPY-6.

The composition of the AN/SPY-6 radar, supplemented by other radar equipment

According to the technical specifications, the AN/SPY-6 product was supposed to be a multifunctional radar complex designed to monitor the air and surface situation, detect and track targets, as well as issue target designation to fire weapons and/or fire control. From the point of view of general tasks, the new radar system should not have been fundamentally different from the existing ones, but the customer wanted to receive a significant increase in all tactical, technical and operational characteristics.

At the stage of preliminary development of the concept and development of technical specifications, an unusual idea appeared that distinguishes the AMDR-S project from its predecessors. It was proposed to make the radar modular and provide the ability to select the configuration, composition and number of units used. It was proposed to use such radar modifications on ships of various designs, from destroyers to aircraft carriers.

The AN/SPY-6(V)1 basic modification complexes should be installed on all new Arleigh Burke destroyers of the Flight III modification. A modification of the AN/SPY-6(V)4 for ships of the previous Flight IIA series is also being developed. Landing ships and aircraft carriers of current projects will receive a simplified AN/SPY-6(V)2 radar or Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) during modernization. A modification without significant simplifications, AN/SPY-6(V)3, is intended for modern aircraft carriers of the Gerald R. Ford type.

Complex in production

At the beginning of 2016, Raytheon manufactured an experimental radar system in a basic version for destroyers and conducted its factory tests. In the middle of the year, the product was transferred to the Navy for testing at their test sites. Various events were held up to 2019 inclusive. According to known data, the complex monitored various air targets; training launches of ballistic missiles were also carried out. The use of radar systems in complex jamming environments was tested, etc.

The destroyer USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG-125) is the first carrier of the new radar system. The characteristic radio-transparent AFAR cover is visible on the superstructure

After testing was completed, mass production began. In July of the same year, the first components of the AN/SPY-6 product were assembled and sent to the Huntington-Ingalls Shipbuilding plant. There they were to be installed on the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG-125) under construction. By October, the shipment of components for the first carrier ship was completed.

Jack Lucas was launched on June 4, 2021. Completion and subsequent sea trials, as well as testing of new equipment, took two years. At the end of June 2023, the ship came under the control of the Navy, and preparations began for entry into service. The official acceptance of the pennant took place later, in early October.

The destroyer USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG-125) is the first and so far the only carrier of the AN/SPY-6 radar system in the US Navy. A ship with a new locator performs combat training tasks and participates in combat service. In addition, its crew gains experience in operating new equipment and helps identify remaining design and software flaws.

In March 2022, Raytheon received a new contract for the production of AN/SPY-6 products. By the end of the decade, it is planned to deliver a total of 38 radar systems of all modifications. As reported, these locators will be installed on all new warships of the US Navy. It should be noted that the ordered radar systems will only be enough to equip new ships. Additional orders will be required to modernize the existing fleet.

In parallel with the radar system for destroyers, an experimental product AN/SPY-6(V)2 for landing ships was tested. The activities were completed in 2019, and the launch of production of the first serial product was expected in the near future. They were going to install it on the UDC of the San Antonio project. Work on modifying V3 is still ongoing. The first carrier of this complex will be the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79).

Standard placement of the radar antenna on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers

Technological breakthrough

The AN/SPY-6 radar of all modifications is proposed to be built on the basis of a common set of units. The complex includes antenna array modules (Radar Modular Assembly - RMA), computer tools for processing signals and data, as well as for issuing target designation and working with other ship equipment. The operation of all these devices is provided by power supply, cooling, etc. modules.

The unified RMA module is of greatest interest. It is made in a rectangular case with a front panel measuring 610x610 mm and is mounted using standardized fasteners and connectors. The module contains 144 transceiver elements based on gallium nitride. Using one or another number of RMA products, it is proposed to form an active phased antenna array of the desired configuration.

Thus, Arleigh Burke Flight III ships have more space for installing AFAR and must carry four antenna panels with 44 RMA modules each. Flight IIA destroyers can only receive 24-module arrays. The AN/SPY-6(V3) modification provides for the assembly of three arrays of 9 modules. The AN/SPY-6(V2) version has the simplest configuration - it has 9 modules placed on a rotating base.

The developer reports that the new radar consumes twice as much energy as the existing AN/SPY-1 station. This ensures a 35-fold increase in radiation power. Through the use of modern computing tools, productivity has been dramatically increased. Thus, AN/SPY-1 tracks up to 200 targets per AFAR, and the new radar system in this regard should exceed it by more than 30 times. However, the exact tactical and technical characteristics of the complex have not yet been published.

AN/SPY-6 is fully integrated with the NIFC-CA (Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air) fire control system. With the help of this system, data from the radar will be sent to fire weapons for subsequent destruction of air targets, aerodynamic and ballistic.

Raytheon proactively worked on the electronic warfare function. If necessary, the complex can send not only a probing signal, but also directional interference. Setting up active interference does not interfere with the operation of other transmitting and receiving elements and RMA modules in general.

Particularly important project

The AN/SPY-6 radar development and production project is of particular importance to the US Navy. It is directly related to the development of the fleet's radio-electronic systems and the improvement of its capabilities in the context of monitoring the situation and detecting targets. The new radar system will significantly increase the characteristics of this kind, and we are talking about ships of several different projects.

To date, the development company has tested two modifications of the new radar, and one of them has already entered production. So far, only one ship has received the finished AN/SPY-6 complex, but in the coming years the number of its carriers is going to be increased. Time will tell whether the Navy will be able to fulfill all its plans and meet the deadlines.

AN/SPY-6 radar development and production project has special significance for the US Navy.

Some are likely to be of greater and some of lesser importance to the US Navy. From the point of view of the Russian man in the street, he doesn’t care about all these upgrades that have special characteristics and meanings. A more interesting question is on the topic: “Will the Russian Zircon (Dagger) be able to disable a ship (ships) equipped with these radar systems?”

I’ll share one more secret desire, I really want to see how the Russian Navy (VKS, Armed Forces) will hit the impudent American mug who has climbed into someone else’s garden. It will make them forever lose interest in interfering in the affairs of the countries of the Eastern Hemisphere. And I don’t care whether their ships have radar systems or how many buttons the admiral who comes on deck has...

No. However, there are some frightening tendencies in the US Navy that could disable it without any participation of these zircons and daggers of yours.

And the quoted expression is exactly true. The armed forces cannot be of higher quality than the state apparatus itself. Exceptions, like the Wehrmacht, are extremely rare.

The American state is now in an extremely sad state - and this, of course, affects the army. Another thing is that even the extremely sad state of the American state and the American army is far beyond what is possible for many other countries. And, accordingly, their armies.

So “no” or “no one knows”?
I’ll tell you one secret - those who are supposed to and everyone involved know this for sure.
And they know that “Zircon”, and with special equipment and “Dagger” (and perhaps not only with nuclear warheads), US ships/ships are hit by these missiles with virtually no harm from the actual ship-based air defense systems of our time. And the quality of the radar has nothing to do with it. The shipborne air defense systems of the American fleet have too SLOW missiles. In addition, they are designed (those about missile defense) for transatmospheric interception with a direct hit and do not have warheads. Those. they do not create an oncoming cloud of fragments.
At the same time, their missile defense systems are indeed very maneuverable (thanks to the cross-thrust engine block), but due to the TOO low speed, they simply cannot/cannot directly intercept a hypersonic target on a counter/intersecting course. Even if their combat algorithms allow it (which is also not the case). In addition, they (missile defense systems) were created against ballistic targets... Against SIMPLE ballistic targets. And the targets against which they will try to be used are not only not simple (not at all simple), but also not at all ballistic and are aimed at the target parallel to the earth’s surface at echelons of 50 km. (for "Dagger") and 40 km. (for Zircon" in their marching section. And in the final section they dive steeply towards the target, exactly into the "dead crater" of the ship's radar. And at the same time they actively maneuver during the dive towards the target.
In addition (and this has always been the case) they will not go to the target alone, but as a rule, at least 2 missiles per ship. There are at least 4 per aircraft carrier, and most likely just six. For insurance.
And for ship-based (and not only) missile defense systems, the probability of intercepting a SIMPLE ballistic target is approximately 50%. So even at a simple ballistic blank it is necessary to launch at least 3-4 such missiles. But ours are not blanks, and not at all simple.
That is why right now, after demonstrating the capabilities of our hypersonic missiles (Dagger, Zircon), the United States urgently ordered a new missile defense system with a new, more powerful engine. Those. more speedy. I wouldn’t be surprised if she also again has a warhead with damaging elements.

And of course I know that the Burke radar has a rather small dead crater and most likely it will see the rocket until it lands on the ship. But he will not be able to interfere with our missiles.

[Negro]

How to say. Until recently, one could hope that “those who are supposed to” would learn “what they should” not from television. But over the past couple of years, more and more arguments have appeared in favor of a more frightening point of view: the bullshit that the Zvezda channel shows us is not invented on purpose. This is what goes into the daddies.

Well, ours definitely doesn’t belong to these other armies.

What is yours? If you are talking about the Russian Federation, then more or less this trend is observed. Usually, both the Russian (generalized) army and the Russian (generalized) state perform consistently poorly (RNV, WWII, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Northern Military District). The case when the Russian (generalized) army performed phenomenally poorly - the Second World War - coincided with the phenomenally bad state of the state as a whole.

This follows one from the other. If power in the state is held by open enemies of their people, then they cannot allow the creation of a highly effective army: a highly effective army will come to the capital and outweigh them with tank guns. At the same time, such political leadership cannot support an effective economy and, accordingly, the military-industrial complex.

For Eastern Europe, the situation described is the historical norm. The USA and Western Europe had more and less successful periods. Now is obviously a less successful period.

REV 1945 with the lightning defeat of the Kwantung Army?
As part of it (RYAV-1945), the lightning capture of the entire archipelago of the Kuril Islands and the island. Sakhalin?
WWII - they started badly, without finishing/not properly mobilizing, they got into East Prussia and failed. But during the same period, they carried out a very successful offensive in Austria-Hungary. Later they retreated from there, went into strategic defense to carry out full mobilization and training of troops (as from the fall of 2022 to this day), and then there was the Brusilov breakthrough with the defeat of the entire Austrian army (the allies were saved again). But in 1917, the Russian Army was ready to advance and end the war that same year in Berlin. And the German army could no longer oppose this offensive. The revolution, the conspiracy of the elites, the money of the German General Staff through Parvus and the subsequent Civil War did not allow it, but this is definitely not the fault of the Army.
Afghanistan is an adventure of Andropov, who pushed through the decision of the Politburo... on a pretext invented by Andropov. There was no goal to conquer; the war was fueled by external players. Najibula coped well with the situation, but they stopped helping him. Treason of Gorbachev-Yeltsin. But the troops came out in an organized manner and left behind a stable regime. Things turned out quite differently there in the United States. At all .
Chechnya is an internal civil conflict with external intervention. Completed very successfully and now Chechnya is the most stable region in that region and our support in the Caucasus. A difficult beginning and a successful solution to the issue with the right ending.
SVO ?
This conflict continues. It's a rough start. But with insufficient forces. After withdrawing from Kyiv, the Kharkov region and Kherson to the Right Bank, the front was stabilized and the RF Armed Forces went into strategic defense until they brought themselves into line with the tasks at hand. All attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack failed. The losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are simply monstrous, the economy is destroyed, the energy sector is now represented only by nuclear power plants and... the summer campaign of 2024 is ahead.
What do you think it will bring to the Ukrainian Armed Forces?
Even if funding from sponsors remains at last year’s level and shells are found?
During this period (NWO) of the Russian Federation has already grown into four new regions (two of them are now partially occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but this is a solvable issue). The RF Armed Forces, continuing to act defensively in a number of directions, are constantly pushing back the Armed Forces of Ukraine, squeezing out territory, but does not go on the offensive. This can be called battles of local importance and improving the tactical position of troops. Reconnaissance, searching for weak points in the defense and bleeding the enemy with a thousand small cuts. All the main events are yet to come.
But the RF Armed Forces got rid of many shortcomings and increased their grouping to a number sufficient for successful offensive operations.

Well, this is just PEARL.
Can you remind me who accepted the surrender of Germany on May 9, 1945?
Bad start?
Retreat to Moscow in 1941 and to the Volga in 1942?
Actually, the Red Army was then confronted by the most powerful land army in the World. And not only Germany, but a whole coalition of European states. Moreover, the initiative from the very beginning belonged to the Germans. Behind them was the entire economy of Europe and the mobilized armies of the anti-Soviet coalition.
The Red Army then not only did not finish its rearmament. It had quite natural problems of sharp numerical growth in the pre-war years. When from an army of 500 thousand (and before that the number of spacecraft was even less, even 150 thousand at the bottom), it was deployed in several pre-war years to a strength of 5,3 million bayonets. There were not enough experienced commanders. Some divisions were generally headed by majors and lieutenant colonels. Many commanders simply did not have time to take up positions, and units and formations to carry out/complete combat coordination. In addition, our (Soviet) troops were stationed throughout the vast territory of the USSR. It was necessary to maintain a powerful group in the Far East. In Transcaucasia it’s the same - covering the oil-bearing Baku from the attack of the British (and the French, until Hitler nullified the latter) who were preparing expeditionary troops the day before for an attack on Baku.
So on the western border, German troops met only 57 Soviet divisions. The defensive fortifications on the new border were not yet ready, and weapons were removed from the “old” “Stalin Line” to be placed on the new fortification line. The armored forces were in the process of reorganization (structural - tank corps were being formed) and re-equipment with new equipment... About the same thing happened with Aviation (re-equipment with new types of aircraft that had not yet been properly mastered by the troops). So the retreats and failures of the spacecraft were completely understandable and justified by the balance of power and the combination of circumstances. And also the power and qualifications of the enemy.
And then the “fractures” began. For the enemy they are very painful and then fatal. As the crown of the acquired power and qualifications - the brilliantly carried out Belarusian and Berlin Offensive Operations.
Any business, and especially a war, is judged by its Result.
And the result was the Victory in May 1945, our troops in Germany on a permanent basis, the formation of the Department of Internal Affairs, and the status of the USSR as a founder/co-founder of the UN. With VETO power.
Is this in your opinion... "failure"?
It just so happened historically that we are very good at fighting in the “Ares War,” especially in the Long War of Ares. This mobilizes us, the husks fly off, the Economy, Society, Military-Industrial Complex are strengthened/mobilized, and the Army acquires that Power, the development of which in peacetime for political reasons... they did not dare.
So we know how to fight in War. Perhaps like no one else.

Invented by political officers after the war. In reality, there were border skirmishes and actions of occupying forces in peacetime.

lightning-fast capture of the entire archipelago of the Kuril Islands and about. Sakhalin?

Another shame when, during the landing on the islands donated by the Americans, they managed to drown a regiment of people. They created their own Soviet Omaha Beach, so to speak.

WWI - started badly

A typical war for Russia as part of a coalition, when it lost more than any enemy and any ally. However, in the case of fronts with other backward countries - Turkey and AVI - RI fought more or less decently, at least without catastrophic losses. Unless, of course, she herself invented something like that, like that very senseless Brusilov breakthrough.

Of course, only the Soviet government showed how bad it was possible to fight in general, and how good the tsarist generals were against its background with their military level of the AVI and Turkey.

There was no goal to conquer, the war was fueled by external players

Oh well. They created their own Vietnam with their own hands. However, it is worth giving the CPSU its due - at least they did not think of including Afghanistan into the RSFSR for the duration of the hostilities. As we see, the activities of the Politburo are not at all the limit of madness.

Things turned out quite differently there in the United States.

So the Americans confirm that it is possible to behave even more stupidly than the Politburo. After all, the Soviet government had, so to speak, a genetic memory of rational actions, which no, no, and even came out. Recent American administrations have been able to completely remove rationality from the agenda.

now Chechnya is the most stable region in that region and our support in the Caucasus

Uh-uh. I think a lot of interesting things await you. If you live.

This conflict continues

)))
Yeah. The other day, at least someone decided on their plans and extended the SVO for 10 years at once.

Can you remind me who accepted the surrender of Germany on May 9, 1945?

Truman asked Eisenhower to take the Germans to Berlin, they say, their Soviet friends really wanted it. The Germans themselves were sitting at the Danish border and did not want to see any Soviet friends.

Then, of course, I regretted it. Eisenhower, by the way, was strongly against it.

Bad start?

Why "beginning"? During WWII, not the best army of the Republic of Ingushetia against the same enemy held the front approximately on the border line with relatively moderate losses. CA could do neither one nor the other.

Behind them was the entire economy of Europe and the mobilized armies of the anti-Soviet coalition.

Hehehe. Yes, the USSR was in the back of many minds. On the other hand, entering the war relatively late is generally considered a plus rather than a minus.

It was necessary to maintain a powerful group in the Far East.

Yes, the USSR knew how to make enemies everywhere.

In Transcaucasia it’s the same - covering the oil-bearing Baku from the attack of the British (and the French, until Hitler nullified the latter) who were preparing expeditionary troops the day before for an attack on Baku.

Well, let’s say you lied. Raids on Baku were discussed in the early 40s, during the period of tender friendship between the two mustachioed geopoliticians. In 41, their friendship cooled sharply, so these plans were postponed. The second time they were remembered only at the end of 42, when it was time to surrender the Caucasus. But, as we know, they were not useful again.

So the retreats and failures of the spacecraft were quite understandable and justified by the balance of power and coincidence of circumstances

That is, you are retelling my position in your own words: the unprecedented chaos and the army that was left behind at the beginning of the 40s were a direct consequence of the enchanting bloody chaos in the country as a whole.

brilliantly carried out Belarusian and Berlin Offensive Operations.

Yeah. The main military successes came when the Reich, at one time or another, had fought before a military mutiny. However, the Reich had its drawbacks, primarily at the level of strategic planning, so it encountered problems much earlier.

Any business, and especially a war, is judged by its Result.

So hang Ermak and Zelensky, who is stopping you?

Yes and no. No, because no one chose these ghouls. These are usurpers. Yes, because Western countries had relatively strong democratic institutions, so the degree of culpability of their citizens was higher than in many other countries.

But it will be even worse

Well, it’s possible.

During amphibious landings, it happens that people drown, but the entire archipelago was occupied during the same time as the defeat of the Kwantung Army. It’s a pity they didn’t have time to occupy Hokkaido, the Japanese surrendered too quickly. But the Japanese and the United States were going to fight for a long time. And then everything fell apart like that.
Is that really a shame?

In fact, the French tearfully asked for this offensive. It was them who were saved again (as in 1914). For us, this offensive was premature and should have begun, as on the German front in 1917. But the Austrian army was then defeated. And those same German divisions that did not go to finish off the French saved it from disaster.
Another thing is that Russia didn’t need that WWI at all. They would have allowed volunteers to go to Serbia to fight the Austrians, and would have remained out of that war. Letting the Germans have plenty of fun with the French.

Your country never existed at all. . While the countries you listed are among the most ancient Countries (not states!) within their borders. For the name of a country may change (like Iran and Persia), but the blood and soil remain. France has existed within its borders since Charlemagne; China, although young, already existed then. Russia has always been there.
China held its front during WWII, drawing over most of the Kwantung Army. Russia crushed enemy armies on land and took their capitals. The USA crushed the Japanese at sea. England guarded its colonies, which it then fell in love with. And then the empire. But Victory is won by the one whose soldiers take the capitals of the Enemy. And the rest are complicit. But they are also important.

No need to talk for long. The USA became kinder to the USSR back in the early 30s, when they recognized the USSR. And the US needed the war to seize its colonies and destroy the British Empire. And the United States achieved its goal. Although they finished off the Britons for another decade and a half after WWII. Together with the USSR.
That's why British spies killed Roosevelt at the very end of the war with a pistol to the head. That's why the coffin was sealed. That's why the relatives weren't allowed to have the exhumation done.

Are you too lazy to open Wikipedia? And about anti-missiles, and about their features, and about the belt of disposable single-pulse transverse thrust engines.

Well, we were talking about ship-based missiles, and these are Standard and ESSM. Where's the belt?

Quote: bayard

Such missiles, by the way, are part of the Patriot air defense system

ZUR ERINT has pulse micromotors of torque control. But this does not apply to American shipborne missiles.

So much the worse for the naval air defense of the American fleet. They are not capable of intercepting complex hypersonic targets.
In addition, a transatmospheric interceptor cannot operate at altitudes of 40-50 km. , and this is exactly the echelon of our GZUR. And they have nothing else to intercept. In addition, the missile defense systems do not have warheads and are designed for kinetic interception, which in the case of a maneuvering civil defense missile makes the interception possible with the available US and NATO air defense systems impossible.
In addition, approximately the same class of missile defense systems have now appeared in the arsenal of Iran, North Korea and China.
However, the problem is for the air defense/missile defense of the USA and NATO countries.

This is how the red lines change. Movable.

Not tanks with barbecues.
And tens, hundreds of missiles and butts for them.
Money and knowledge of physics are the foundation of red lines. Beautiful for us.
How many physics teachers are there in Russian schools? - in 2050, the tap lines will bleed again

[Tarusa Petrova]

It’s strange, why only teachers?
Where are the men if we realize that this is very important for us?
Where is the salary that allows teachers to live with dignity?

"So, AN/SPY-1 tracks up to 200 targets per AFAR, and the new radar in this regard should be more than 30 times superior..."
We would like one like this. Otherwise, we don’t have a border, but a passage yard. Soon the BCs will fly to the Urals and Siberia.

The module contains 144 transceiver elements based on gallium nitride.

Gallium nitride allows for much higher operating temperatures than gallium arsenide, allowing for fundamentally improved cooling and increased power.

This ensures 35x increase in power radiation.

AN/SPY-6 radar complex and its prospects

Everything is clear with the enemy, that’s why he is an enemy. But how do we deal with these questions - like this?

There is also the endlessly developed “model model” Rofar.

[antivirus]

Everything is fine.
And the fleet puts its armor on bolts on land. Bye.
It is also necessary for hunters and other UAVs.
And we need to round the borders. This means less air defense. geography configuration, +threats. Territories of Ri, USSR, but not the Russian Federation.

The link is complete crap.

Of course, I apologize wildly, but, in my opinion, the author missed one of the main features of the new radar - it will become dual-band...

[Negro]

This particular author didn't "miss" anything. He's just off topic.

In terms of? The ship also has a separate conventional X-band AFAR, EMNIP, - 3 panels. The author has a topic only about AMDR-S - AN/SPY-6.

I wonder if anyone noticed that the target illumination radars remained in place. That is, the US Navy is not abandoning semi-active guidance.

The developer reports that the new radar consumes twice as much energy as the existing AN/SPY-1 station. This ensures a 35-fold increase in radiation power.

SPY-1+15dB is the energy potential at 37 RMA.

Through the use of modern computing tools, productivity has been dramatically increased. Thus, AN/SPY-1 tracks up to 200 targets per AFAR, and the new radar in this regard should exceed it by more than 30 times.

Or can someone “in the know” comment on how much such an increase in this parameter is in demand? That a ship really often has to track so many objects? If I don’t confuse air defense systems and aircraft, they usually have hundreds and they don’t seem to have anything... Or are they typical marketing phrases like “non-GMO washing powder”?
