Raytheon Systems, Marconi Electronic Systems and Fairchild Controls have teamed to develop a third-generation targeting system for fast-jet precision strike aircraft.
Raytheon is developing a family of systems based on these sensors, and has already sold systems for the V-22 Osprey, the Royal Australian Navy's SH-2G and the Teledyne Ryan RQ-4 Global Hawk.
The new-generation systems can be used to identify and designate targets for laser-guided bombs or other weapons at much greater slant ranges than today's pods, keeping the aircraft clear of defensive fire.
