Raytheon Receives $17 Million in Orders for Army Sensor Development

Category: Contracts

MCKINNEY, Texas -- Raytheon Company has received two U.S. Army orders totaling $17.2 million for 18 common sensor payloads as system design and development continues.

The orders are part of an indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract let in November 2007 with options up to $1.2 billion.

"We are still relatively early in the Army Common Sensor Payload program. However, our broad core market strength and experience in building electro- optical infrared systems are proving to be distinct advantages as we move forward," said Tim Carey, vice president for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance at Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems.

"SAS is developing a robust advanced sensor for the soldier and Army air-ground team that will provide tactical reconnaissance, surveillance, and mission support in target acquisition."

An important advantage in this program is the integration experience of Raytheon as the prime sensor payload provider for the Army's Extended Range Multi-Purpose unmanned aerial system. The company has delivered 10 AN/DAS-2 sensors.

The common sensor payload, which will eventually equip ERMP and other Army unmanned and manned aircraft, calls for design and development, testing and air vehicle integration of a variant of Raytheon's multi-spectral targeting system. Follow-up production of the payload in McKinney could reach 875 units.
