Raytheon has received a contract from Boeing to supply ALR-69A digital radar warning receivers and digital anti-jam receiver global positioning systems for the KC-46 tanker.
“Raytheon’s ALR-69A digital radar warning receiver will provide the KC-46 tanker with greater situational awareness that will result in significant increased aircrew survivability,” said Maureen Dougherty, Boeing KC-46 vice president and program manager.
The ALR-69A is an all-digital radar warning receiver designed to work both with large aircraft and fighters. Raytheon’s advanced digital open architecture provides increased sensitivity and the ability to accurately identify threat signals much earlier in today’s dense threat environments.
“We look forward to working with Boeing and the KC-46 tanker team to deliver these much-needed capabilities to the warfighter,” added Mark Kula, vice president, Tactical Airborne Systems.
