Wallis Laughrey, vice president of space and command and control systems at Raytheon Technologies’ intelligence and space business, has said the company is working on radar technologies for future space architectures built on hybrid sensors.

Raytheon Technologies has been selected by the U.S. Space Force to design a satellite technology for the Department of Defense's weather prediction efforts. The company said Wednesday its intelligence and space business will create an initial prototype of the Next Generation Electro-Optical Infrared Weather Satellite as the military branch aims to increase the Earth observation data output from DoD systems.

Raytheon Technologies has received a seven-month contract to explore satellite instrument designs that would help the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration improve weather predictions. The company said Monday its intelligence and space business will perform the High-Resolution Infrared Sounder concept study and seeks to offer NOAA design options with greater spatial, spectral range, horizontal coverage and sensitivity features than the current IR sounders.

Maxar Technologies plans to integrate its WorldView Legion observation satellites with Raytheon Technologies’ imaging sensors this summer ahead of a first launch slated for 2021, SpaceNews reported Friday.

A senior executive at Raytheon announced that the company has secured a contract to build one of the payloads for the Blackjack program of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Breaking Defense reported Friday.

Raytheon is helping the U.S. military build a new blanket of sensors, which will be stationed in outer space, for expanded capability to detect missile threats.

Lockheed Martin has selected Raytheon as one of the contractors that will design the payload for a new missile detection technology that would replace the U.S. Air Force’s existing Space Based Infrared System satellites.

Raytheon has expressed interest to help the Defense Department meet its weather monitoring needs with its sensor system, SpaceNews reported Monday. Wallis Laughrey, vice president of Raytheon’s space systems segment, told the publication at the Space Symposium that the company is in talks with the U.S. Air Force and DoD …
