Raytheon to design laser guidance and control section of laser-guided Maverick air-to-ground missile

摘要

Munitions guidance experts at the Raytheon Co. Missile Systems segment in Tucson, Ariz., are developing the laser guidance and control section of the newest variant of the Maverick air-to-ground tactical missile-the AGM-65E2/L-under terms of a $34.4 million U.S. Air Force contract.rnRaytheon engineers will give the laser-guided Maverick an enhanced laser seeker and software to reduce the risk of collateral damage and enabling aircraft pilots to use onboard aircraft lasers to designate targets for Maverick. The AGM-65E2 is the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps variant of the laser-guided Maverick, while the AGM-65L is the U.S. Air Force variant.
