Raytheon’s SeaVue Multi-role Radar Provides Critical Targeting Data at RIMPAC

Our Bureau - : Sep 6, 2024 - : 11:13 pm

Raytheon recently successfully demonstrated the SeaVue Multi-role Radar’s superior long-range target detection at the U.S. Navy’s Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) – the world’s largest international maritime exercise.

Performing a Sink Exercise, or SINKEX, an MQ-9B SeaGuardian Unmanned Aircraft System from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. used SeaVue Multi-role Radar (SVMR) surveillance and imaging to survey multiple targets and send track data to F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet aircraft. The aircraft were able to use the data provided by the radar to successfully fire a Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) at a decommissioned amphibious assault ship, the USS Tarawa (LHA-1), showcasing SVMR’s net-enabled, long-range weapons employment capabilities.

“SVMR proved its ability to capture high fidelity targeting data needed for successful weapons engagement in a maritime environment,” said Bryan Rosselli, president of Advanced Products & Solutions at Raytheon. “The live-fire exercise enabled us to test and validate SVMR to ensure it can provide the situational awareness required in an operational environment – allowing faster decision making and more efficient kill chains.”

SVMR is a modern, software-defined radar that provides all-weather surveillance and superior multi-mission performance for crewed and uncrewed aircraft, including fixed, rotary-wing and aerostat platforms.
