Awaltham-based company has successfully performed a live-fire test on lower-tier air and missile defense sensors (LTAMDS).
Raytheon successfully tested the GhostEye MR radar to repel an air attack as part of the NASAMS anti-aircraft system.
The test was at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The new GhostEye MR radar,
operating part of the NASAMS anti-aircraft system, provides a detailed picture of the airspace to identify the target and select the required response.
The missiles can track a perfect high-speed target in a maritime environment.
According to the engineers, GhostEye MR successfully supported NASAMS in the neutralization of the threat during combat simulation. All of the components of the system interact effectively, exchanging top information and relevant data during a real threat.
According to the results of the test, the radar station has the possibility of full integration with NASAMS systems.
The new radar technology that was used In the new creation of the Lower Tier Air & Missile Defense Sensor, which is now manufactured for the U.S Military.
The GhostEye radar is equipped with a 360-degree rotating surveillance radar antenna with an active phased array antenna with electronic scanning based on gallium nitride transmission modules and also a fire control sensor.
