Raytheon Books Paveway™ II Contract
03.06.2013 North America
Raytheon booked a $106 million contract for its combat-proven Paveway™ II family of precision-guided munitions. The company was awarded the direct commercial sale from an international customer.
The contract includes Paveway™ kits for both GBU-12 (500lb) and GBU-58 (250lb) guided bombs. Paveway™ is a Raytheon-designed kit that transforms "dumb" bombs into precision-guided munitions. The contract order was booked in Raytheon's second quarter of 2013.
“Customers worldwide continue to select Raytheon's Paveway™ to protect their warfighters and citizens,” said Harry Schulte, Vice President of Raytheon Missile Systems' Air Warfare Systems.
“This contract further demonstrates Raytheon's long-standing commitment to its international partners,” he added.
Raytheon continues to evolve Paveway™ to meet the needs of the U.S. Armed Forces as well as allied nations. The Raytheon Paveway™ family offers precision guidance kits compatible across a broad spectrum of warheads.
Enhanced versions of Paveway™ include Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System guidance capabilities. These combine the precision and flexibility of traditional laser-guided weapons with the all-weather capability of GPS guidance, resulting in a weapon that decreases the required sortie count and weapons inventory while simultaneously increasing the mission success rate.
