Raytheon to establish dedicated software team for multi-spectral targeting sensors

摘要

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) avionics experts at the Raytheon Co. are establishing a dedicated software team to support multi-spectral targeting sensors on the MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper medium-range attack UAVs. Officials of the U.S. Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, announced a $12.6 million contract last month to the Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems segment in McKinney, Texas, for MQ-1 and MQ-9 support. The job involves establishing a dedicated software team to develop, field, and sustain the Medium Altitude Long Endurance Tactical Multi-Spectral Targeting Systems software line.
