Raytheon Australia, part of RTX’s Raytheon business, has designed and delivered a new sovereign long-range testing and tracking capability to support Australian Defence Force (ADF) missile trials.
“Reliable testing underpins operational readiness, especially as systems become more advanced and missions extend farther than ever before,” Managing Director of Raytheon Australia, Ohad Katz, stated.
“This new system showcases Raytheon Australia’s ability to quickly design, develop and deliver advanced solutions for its customers, and builds on the capability we have been providing since 2020.”
The Long-Range Deployable Telemetry Monitoring and Flight Termination Systems are mobile range-safety solutions providing real-time tracking, data collection and secure flight termination for missiles during testing.
The system was delivered in 30 months from contract signature and was one of the first systems delivered under the new streamlined procurement acquisition process from the Australian Department of Defence’s Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group.
