Raytheon announced Tuesday that it had successfully completed the final critical design review, or CDR, for the Cobra Judy missile tracking radar system. Raytheon said it had carried out a series of reviews required to transition the Cobra Judy Replacement Mission Equipment, or CJR ME, program from the design to the build and integration phase.

The intensive three-day review, which included final design presentations, demonstrated to the U.S. Navy that the radar and related mission equipment were ready for construction, Raytheon said. Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems is the prime contractor for the CJR ME program.

Raytheon described the CJR ME program as an integrated, surveillance and ballistic missile data collection radar system to support U.S. treaty monitoring activities. Its DDG-1000 derivative dual-band radar suite consists of X-band and S-band phased array sensors and other related mission equipment.

"This final critical design review is a significant accomplishment for the CJR Program," said Pete Franklin, vice president, Raytheon IDS Missile Defense. "We've leveraged Raytheon's experience across all our radar programs to provide the capabilities that come from 30-plus years experience in radar technology."

Manufacturing of hardware and coding for the mission equipment software will take place at Raytheon IDS facilities in Massachusetts and California. As Raytheon's principal team partner on the CJR Program, Northrop Grumman is responsible for the S-Band phased array antenna, which is being developed at the company's Maryland facilities.

Now, though, the U.S. telecom giant is revising its policy on client information and is arguing that as the provider of the telecommunications services, it actually owns the information it collects.
