Patriot Slated For Radar Upgrades
Raytheon has won a $53 million contract to provide the U.S. Army
with kits designed to enhance the capability of the Patriot missile's
radar. Patriot is a surface-to-air missile able to intercept aircraft
and to a lesser extent, tactical ballistic missile warheads. Raytheon
said the improvements will effectively double the average power
of the Patriot's radar, while enabling it to better discriminate
between targets at long ranges. The upgrade work will be performed
at Raytheon' facilities in Andover, Bedford, Sudbury and Tewksbury,
Massachusetts.
