The future San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship Richard M. McCool, Jr. (LPD 29) is en route to the Naval Air Station Pensacola in Pensacola, Florida, where it will be commissioned on Sept. 7. LPD 29 is the first ship to be equipped with the Raytheon-built SPY-6(V)2 radar, known for its air traffic control and advanced capabilities against cruise missiles, anti-surface and anti-ship threats, as well as jamming/clutter and electronic warfare.

Two more Maxar Technologies WorldView Legion satellites launched into orbit today fitted with our next-generation imaging instruments. These Raytheon developed payloads deliver high-resolution 30 cm-class imagery that provide a whole new view of the world for a wide range of applications. Our technical innovations show how smaller, more affordable sensors can provide better performance compared with legacy options. Learn how our advanced imagers are providing high-resolution visual data and images like these in real time: https://rtxcorp.co/4dLaooI

Our High-Energy Laser Weapon System was successfully fired from a land vehicle, the first test of its kind in the UK. This critical step further marks our commitment to developing advanced and innovative counter-UAS technologies to help customers defend against the proliferation of evolving drone warfare.

We're developing a next-generation EO/IR intelligent sensing capability leveraging MOSA/SOSA to ensure more flexibility while allowing current fleet and Future Vertical Lift sensors to be more adaptable as threats evolve.

In Raytheon’s 49,000 square-foot Space Systems Operations facility in Tucson, Arizona, our team of technicians, engineers and operators develop, test and assemble parts for highly precise defensive weapons known as “kill vehicles” that track and defeat ballistic missiles in the vacuum of space – an environment the site was designed specifically to recreate. “We have 25 years of iterative experience and data from 50 successful space intercepts,” said Justin Jenia, vice president of Strike Initiatives at Raytheon. “What we learned, what we saw in these increasingly complex test scenarios has led to significant efficiencies and process improvements in our factory assembly and environmental controls.” To learn more about these capabilities visit our booth 301 at #SMDSymposium or visit: https://rtxcorp.co/3WS1Bvk

NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) awards Raytheon a $478 million contract to supply Germany with additional GEM-T missiles, supporting the replenishment of Patriot missiles donated by Germany to Ukraine. Details: https://rtxcorp.co/4dBvhCN

From ballistic missile defense, to hypersonic glide-phase intercepts, to terminal intercept, visit us at booth 301 at #SMDSymposium to learn how we continue to lead in missile defense capabilities.
