SINGAPORE, Feb. 14, 2012. Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has delivered the first international version of its APY-10 surveillance radar to Boeing. The radar will be installed on the P-8I aircraft Boeing is building for the Indian navy.
The APY-10 radar delivers accurate and actionable information in all weather, day and night, for anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, and for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
To meet requirements for the Indian navy, Raytheon has added an air-to-air mode, which provides the detection and tracking of airborne targets. In addition, an interleaved weather and surface search capability has been added to provide the cockpit with weather avoidance information while performing surveillance missions.
Raytheon is under contract to produce eight APY-10 radars for the Indian navy.
