Raytheon and U.S. Navy Awarded for Work on ALR-67(V)3 Radar Warning Receiver
Date posted: 09/16/2008*
Raytheon and its U.S. Navy partner have won a Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) Award from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The award is for logistics support work related to the ALR-67(V)3 radar warning receiver that equips the U.S. Navy's F/A-18E/F aircraft. The receiver offers sophisticated digital technology to detect and identify threat radar emitters, enhancing the survivability of aircraft that rely on the system. Initially deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom, the system has been chosen by several international air forces for their F/A-18 tactical fleets.
The citation recognized the Naval Inventory Control Point and Raytheon team’s “superb efforts” in meeting the terms of a $150 million performance-based logistics contract for the ALR-67(V)3 receiver. The contract set several precedents, including the Navy’s willingness to award it a full year before delivery of the first production unit. The team is supported by the Naval Underwater Warfare Center-Keyport, the Fleet Readiness Center Southeast and the Naval Air Systems Command.
“Operational readiness and system reliability are critical battlefield discriminators,” said Roy Azevedo, manager of Raytheon’s Electronic Warfare business area. “This is truly a life-saving product for the aviators who serve in the F/A-18, and we take great pride in helping to bring them home safely.”
The PBL awards program was established to recognize government/industry teams that demonstrate outstanding achievements in PBL development, implementation and execution. This is the third consecutive year that Raytheon has received a PBL award. The permanent PBL award is publicly displayed at the Defense Acquisition University.
Raytheon’s PBL program is managed by its Space and Airborne Systems business at its Tactical Airborne Systems facility in Goleta, Calif.
