Raytheon has built the first antenna array for a new radar system designed to help the U.S. Army counter hypersonic weapons and other sophisticated threats.

Raytheon has tapped Mercury Systems to deliver signal processing and radio frequency systems that will support the development of the U.S. Army’s Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor.

Toby O’Brien, chief financial officer of Raytheon, told Defense One in an interview published Thursday that the company “did get some incremental work” when it comes to hypersonics and counter-hypersonics and saw its backlog rise to approximately $750M through the third quarter of 2019.

Raytheon has exhibited at the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual conference its proposed radar for the Army’s Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor program meant to replace the Patriot air-and-missile defense radar system. C4ISRNET reported Monday.

Northrop Grumman is set to demonstrate space, air and missile defense offerings at the two-day Space and Missile Defense Symposium event on Aug. 6-8 in Huntsville, Ala.

Lockheed Martin conducted a series of exercises to demonstrate how its radar platform will meet the U.S. Army’s requirements for the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor during the service’s “sense-off” at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

Northrop Grumman is set to submit its final proposal to the U.S. Army for the production of the service’s new Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor.

The U.S. Army has issued a request for proposals for novel platforms designed to meet the service’s requirements for the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor program. A FedBizOpps notice posted Tuesday says the service will use the other transaction authority for the rapid prototyping initiative to award a three-year, firm-fixed-price contract to a single offeror in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Raytheon is preparing to demonstrate a new missile defense sensor system for a U.S. Army competition that aims to replace the company’s Patriot air-and-missile defense radar.

Raytheon will take part in the U.S. Army’s missile defense radar “sense-off” that is expected to occur in the spring of 2019 at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, Defense News reported Thursday. The sense-off seeks to evaluate radar designs that could be incorporated into the Integrated Air and Missile Defense system and is part of the Army’s effort to adjust the approach for its Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor program meant to replace the Patriot air-and-missile defense radar.

Raytheon has completed initial design work under the U.S. Army’s Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor competition. The company said Monday it will proceed to the technology maturation and risk reduction phase of the LTAMDS program with the goal to demonstrate a fully operational radar array and eventually an integrated prototype. Under …

Raytheon and the U.S. Army have completed a program and technical assessment for the service branch’s Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor. The program team aims to determine optimal frequency band, prime power, resiliency, reliability and maintainability requirements for LTAMDS, Raytheon said Tuesday. The effort also seeks to verify the sensor’s 360-degree …

Northrop Grumman has been selected by the U.S. Army to conduct a risk reduction activity for a radar technology designed to replace the service branch’s current Patriot air and missile defense system radars. The company said Friday it aims to provide a Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor for …

The U.S. Army plans to conduct a competition to find a replacement for its Patriot radar system through the Lower-Tier Air-and-Missile Defense Sensor program, Defense News reported Friday. Dan O’Boyle, an Army spokesman, said the service branch plans to begin the Milestone A phase, also known as technology maturation and …

Raytheon has presented the company’s ideas for a next-generation missile defense technology to the U.S. Army in an effort to help the military branch establish requirements for a lower tier air and missile defense sensor system. The company said Monday it envisions a future LTAMDS platform that is based on gallium nitride-powered active electronically scanned array technology and could work as a sensor …
