Raytheon has delivered its second advanced sensor payload to Lockheed Martin for the U.S. Space Force's Next-Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (Next-Gen OPIR) satellite program. These satellites will enhance missile warning and tracking capabilities, including detection of hypersonic weapons, by providing continuous coverage over mid-latitudes. The improved sensors use advanced optics and algorithms to detect missile heat signatures, supporting resilient defense against evolving space threats. The first satellite with Raytheon's sensor is ready for initial launch, marking a key step in strengthening U.S. missile defense infrastructure.
Raytheon successfully demonstrated its Next Generation Short Range Interceptor (NGSRI), designed to replace the Stinger missile for the U.S. Army. The demo showed the missile's improved range, precision, and lethality, using advanced optics and a new...
