Raytheon Broadens AESA Product Line with Revolutionary Radar

(El Segundo, Calif., July 14, 2008) -- A new version of its revolutionary active electronically scanned array radar technology positions Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) to broaden the market substantially with a product designed to fit numerous fighter aircraft requiring AESA capabilities.

The new Raytheon Advanced Combat Radar is a smaller, scalable version of the company's highly successful AESA systems currently in production for U.S.
Navy F/A-18E/F and Air Force F-15C and E aircraft. The company is focusing the new system, which incorporates recent innovations, at customers in the worldwide fighter market, particularly those with F-16 and F/A-18A+/C/D aircraft. The technology also is adaptable for a wide range of other fighter aircraft.

Raytheon has several decades of experience in integrating radar systems on fighter and other aircraft. The company's AESA radars are under contract to Singapore and Australia. The technology is also part of several other international competitive procurements, such as the India fighter competition.

"Raytheon continues to lead the field in its ongoing development of AESA radar technology," said Dr. Tom Kennedy, vice president for Tactical Airborne Systems. "This focus ensures our domestic and international customers have access to new capabilities that will keep their aircraft and force structure combat relevant."
