Congratulations to the USS Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29) crew on the historic ship’s commissioning. ⚓ The Raytheon-built SPY-6 family of radars are projected to be deployed on 60+ U.S. Navy ships over the next 10 years to defend against air, surface, and ballistic threats, and is the most tested, most advanced radar technology in production today. Our employees played a key role in the ship’s commissioning journey including spending a week out at sea, testing various capabilities onboard the LPD 29, the second U.S. Navy ship to deploy SPY-6(V) radar with dozens more to come. This milestone marked a shift for SPY-6 from factory to integration into the U.S. Navy fleet.

USS Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29) is the first ship to be equipped with the Raytheon-built SPY-6(V)2 radar, known for its air traffic control and advanced capabilities against cruise missiles, anti-surface and anti-ship threats, as well as jamming/clutter and electronic warfare. The LPD is named in honor of U.S. Navy Capt. Richard M. McCool, Jr., who was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1945 for the heroism he displayed in the Battle of Okinawa, is set to join the active fleet on Sept. 7, marked by a Commissioning Ceremony in Pensacola, Florida.

Collins Aerospace recently partnered with the US Army’s 1st Multi-Domain Task Force to test how fixed site operations in austere environments could transition into mobile command and control capability. “Making the transition from fixed site to mobile operations must be seamless for the operators,” said Elaine Felicita Bitonti, vice president and general manager for Collins’ Connected Battlespace and Emerging Capabilities. “This requires testing, iterating and refining that capability at the operational edge – ensuring combatants can operate in all conditions.” Learn more: https://rtxcorp.co/3XuvpPj

Between a busy Farnborough International Airshow, 950 Pratt & Whitney GTF engine orders and commitments, and Run to Home Base, let's look back on the latest news. 📰

In Raytheon’s 49,000 square-foot Space Systems Operations facility in Tucson, Arizona, our team of technicians, engineers and operators develop, test and assemble parts for highly precise defensive weapons known as “kill vehicles” that track and defeat ballistic missiles in the vacuum of space – an environment the site was designed specifically to recreate. “We have 25 years of iterative experience and data from 50 successful space intercepts,” said Justin Jenia, vice president of Strike Initiatives at Raytheon. “What we learned, what we saw in these increasingly complex test scenarios has led to significant efficiencies and process improvements in our factory assembly and environmental controls.” To learn more about these capabilities visit our booth 301 at #SMDSymposium or visit: https://rtxcorp.co/3WS1Bvk
