Raytheon to develop AESA radar for Super Hornet

Article Abstract:

Raytheon Co's Electronic Systems Division in El Segundo, CA, has been selected by Boeing Co to develop the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar system for the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet strike fighter aircraft. The AESA will be designed to enhance the Super Hornet's air-to- air target detection and tracking range capabilities while adding higher- resolution, air-to-ground mapping modes at longer ranges. It would thus improve the aircraft's ability to effectively target precision weapons.
