Missile threats are advancing faster than ever, driving the need for next-generation missile warning and tracking payloads. In a new Breaking Defense feature, Raytheon experts discuss how advanced sensor technology is being developed to enable persistent coverage and faster response timelines across all orbital regimes. Davin Swanson, technical director, says, "…We've come up with novel optical designs that provide both high-sensitivity and wide-area coverage… and a next-generation processing capability that we can field on orbit to improve sensitivity and track performance beyond what was capable in previous payloads." Learn how these capabilities are shaping the future of space-based missile defense. https://rtxcorp.co/47U3pIR

📰 ANNOUNCEMENT: USS Ted Stevens (DDG 128) successfully completed second builder’s sea trials equipped with Raytheon-built US Navy SPY-6(V)1 radar. Here’s what sets SPY-6(V)1 apart for the U.S. and allied fleets: 🔹Designed for DDG 51 Flight III destroyers, the radar has 4 array faces, each containing 37 RMAs, providing full 360° situational awareness 🔹Simultaneously detects and defends against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as anti-air, anti-surface, and electronic warfare threats 🔹Delivers greater range and sensitivity than previous-generation radars Learn how the SPY-6 family of radars strengthens global maritime defense: https://rtxcorp.co/4oE6GT5 📷: Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Division of HII

With its gallium nitride-powered array, our new PhantomStrike radar is bringing powerful sensing to more aircraft. The radar puts the power of active electronically scanned array in a compact package for superior situational awareness. This new form factor is much smaller than before, the radar can scale down to about the size of a gaming computer, and it weighs less than 130 pounds. PhantomStrike is also designed to be platform-agnostic meaning the basic building blocks are there to accommodate just about any configuration.

Our Miniature Air to Ground Missile, or MAGM, extends a commander’s unmanned platform reach to defeat enemy targets and increase unit survivability. MAGM has been successfully demonstrated from a small UAS, proving its ability of stable firing from Ordnance Aero’s platform agnostic and P-CLIK compatible launcher. Raytheon’s MAGM and Ordnance Aero bring versatility and lethality to any UAS in the U.S. inventory. Visit us at #AUSA2025 to learn more: https://lnkd.in/efxRNhx8

📰 NEWS: Raytheon launched the initial production of its SharpSight multi-domain surveillance radar. The next-generation system will provide high-altitude, real-time, high-resolution imaging with wide-area search and tracking for land and maritime surveillance, operating day or night in any weather condition. "By merging the proven capabilities of HISAR and SeaVue, we're delivering a flexible, exportable and affordable radar system designed to outperform on the most demanding multi-domain surveillance missions," said Dan Theisen, president of Advanced Products and Solutions at Raytheon.
