Raytheon Making HD Infrared Targeting System For AF
Raytheon will upgrade a standard-definition infrared targeting system to high-definition for the Air Force, the Defense Department announced Thursday.
The company’s space and airborne systems unit won an $8.5 million contract to update the Multi-Spectral Targeting System, a sensor system used on manned and unmanned aerial systems such as the C-130 fixed-wing airlifter, the MH-60 helicopter and the Reaper drone.
Work under the cost-reimbursement contract will occur in McKinney, Texas and the Pentagon expects the work to finish by July 9, 2013.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio is the contracting activity.
The company is also testing the system for the Navy under a separate $22 million contract.
