The two-week missile defense demonstration highlighted Raytheon’s readiness to deliver mission-criticalLTAMDS capability to the U.S. Army.

 In addition to significant Raytheon investments, strategic industrial partners Crane Aerospace & Electronics, Cummings Aerospace, IERUS Technologies, Kord, Mercury Systems, and nLogic were integral to achieving the Army’s accelerated sense-off timetable.
