CONTRACT FOR RAYTHEON SELF PROTECT SYSTEMS
Raytheon has been awarded a contract for its Self Protect Systems in support of a radar upgrade. The $90 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract provides for the fabrication, integration, testing and delivery of the AN/ALR-69A digital radar warning receiver system in use with the Japan Defence Forces. The ALR-69A is the world’s first all-digital radar warning receiver, design of which allows cross-platform commonality, improved spectral and spatial coverage and easy integration with other ECM or radar systems. The system dramatically enhances aircrew survivability, providing “sensors forward” situational awareness at a substantially lower cost than competing systems. Work is expected to be completed by May 2023.
