Date posted: 06/19/2009*
Raytheon Company’s newest advanced electronically scanned array radar, RACR (Raytheon Advanced Combat Radar) recently achieved a significant production readiness milestone. With the maturation of its hardware and software interfaces, RACR is now ready for customers ordering new F-16 production aircraft.
Compact, lightweight and scalable, RACR is a low-risk option that provides superior operational performance for new and retrofit F-16 aircraft, as well as other platforms.
“RACR uses hardware and software currently fielded by the Air Force and Navy,” said Tom Kennedy, vice president for Raytheon’s Tactical Airborne Systems mission area. “By leveraging our existing AESA technology and hot production line, we’re able to offer unmatched reliability and life-cycle cost advantages.”
