Raytheon Continues Production Of ALR-69A(V)
El Segundo CA (SPX) May 12, 2009 Raytheon has been awarded a $7.3 million contract for the continued production of ALR-69A(V) radar warning receiver systems for the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, Robins Air Force Base, Ga. The new contract is for the second phase of a low rate initial production program. This phase calls for production of 10 all-digital receivers. Deliveries of the systems are expected to begin in May 2010 and end in September 2010. "This award is an important step toward providing our customers a digital radar warning receiver critical to the warfighter," said Roy Azevedo, deputy vice president for Raytheon's Tactical Airborne Systems business area. "With potential customers worldwide, the ALR-69A is applicable to several airborne platforms." The ALR-69A(V) provides significantly enhanced situational awareness, improved air-crew survivability, and a solution to current and emerging parts-obsolescence issues. The digital architecture of the system permits easy reprogramming to keep pace with future threats. The system is an upgrade replacement of the ALR-69(V) currently installed on U.S. Air Force C-130, F-16, and A-10 aircraft. Capabilities of the new system include advanced tactical targeting techniques that permit rapid and accurate multi-platform geo-location of threats. Work on the program is being done at Raytheon's Space and Airborne Systems business by its Tactical Airborne Systems organization in Goleta, Calif. Share This Article With Planet Earth
