Raytheon Technologies Unveils New Pricing in Radar Applications

Thu. July 24, 2008; Posted: 02:46 AM

BALTIMORE, Jul 24, 2008 (ASCRIBE NEWS via COMTEX) -- RTN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Raytheon announced that it has developed an application for a pair of technologies that increases radar sensitivity while improving affordability.

The effort has resulted in a $1 million contract award that could be worth more than $14 million if all options are exercised, the company said.

The Office of Naval Research awarded Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) a base contract with four options as part of its Active Electronically Scanned Lens Array (AESLA) program.

One of the technologies is a high-power transmit-receive radar module enabled by gallium nitride monolithic microwave integrated circuits, or MMICs. The other is a low-loss, reliable phase shifter employing radio frequency (RF) micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology.

"By exploiting RF MEMS, we have created an AESLA architecture that enables next generation radars to achieve the sensitivity required to engage increasingly challenging targets," said Mark Russell, Raytheon VP of Engineering, Technology and Mission Assurance. "What's even better is that we can deliver this considerably increased capability at a significantly lower cost in comparison to current architectures."

Joe Smolko from Raytheon IDS' advanced technology group is program manager for the AESLA program. Development will take place at Raytheon's Advanced Product Center in Dallas, Texas, and Raytheon's RF Components in Andover, Mass.
