TEWKSBURY, Mass., Sept. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) is partnering with TELDAT to develop and
produce advanced militarized routers for the Patriot Air and
Missile Defense system. TELDAT engineers and technicians will
design, integrate and qualify this key communications networking
technology for Patriot. Under the initial contract, the engineering
teams from each company can begin design work and trade
studies.
"Raytheon looks forward to long and meaningful partnership
opportunities with TELDAT. This effort demonstrates our continuous
commitment to establish engineering & technology programs in
Poland and to collaborate with
Polish industry," said Daniel J Crowley, President, Raytheon
Integrated Defense Systems. "In addition, by producing this
militarized router, TELDAT will have access to an export market
among established users worldwide – an opportunity unique to the
Patriot system."
"We are pleased to expand our cooperation with Raytheon," said
Henryk Kruszynski, Ph.D., CEO of
TELDAT Company. "This contract is further proof of our engineering
expertise that is leveraged by partners around the world. We think
this project is a great start to the tight integration and
involvement of TELDAT's technology solution in the Patriot
system."
Raytheon continues to pursue opportunities with Polish industry
in preparation for the WISLA program. The company's offer for WISLA
includes the development with Polish industry of a next generation
Patriot solution, which incorporates:
- A new Common Command and Control (CC2) system that offers open
architecture & multi-role capability, which builds on and
preserves the combat-proven functionality of Patriot and its
inherent US/NATO interoperability,
- Introduction of a 360-degree multi-function radar using the
latest advanced radar technology to provide unmatched performance,
unprecedented operational readiness and the lowest maintenance cost
and,
- The potential for integration of a new advanced Low Cost
Interceptor (LCI) to further expand Patriot's ability to
simultaneously fire multiple missile types to address the
continuously evolving threat spectrum.
Patriot is designed with modular components allowing the system
to be continually upgraded and modernized. Today, Patriot is the
only combat-proven air and missile defense system, protecting the
U.S. and allied forces around the world. Its 12-nation global
community, including 5 NATO nations and future Patriot partners
offer Poland benefits through
system enhancement, training, maintenance, testing, logistics and
shared costs.
