Raytheon delivers 2,000th multi-spectral targeting system

Issue No. 21 | November 01-15, 2013

Raytheon achieved a historic first with the delivery of its 2,000th multi-spectral targeting system (MTS) from its factory in McKinney, Texas. As the leading provider of electro-optical, infrared, laser designation and laser illumination capabilities integrated into a single sensor package, Raytheon offers detecting, ranging, tracking and precision fire control capabilities for a wide range of customers.

The MTS product family, which includes the US Army’s Common Sensor Payload, has been integrated on 35 different platforms, for every branch of the US military and various international partner countries. MTS platforms include unmanned aerial vehicles, manned fixed-wing aircraft and rotary-wing aircraft.

“This milestone demonstrates that the MTS is the military’s system of choice for high performance surveillance and targeting applications that require long-range target identification, reliable tracking, precision geo-location and proven fire control,” said Andy Bonnot, Director of Surveillance and Targeting Systems in Raytheon’s Space and Airborne Systems business.
