Raytheon Company Delivers First APY-10 Surveillance Radar to Boeing

Raytheon Company has delivered the APY-10 surveillance radar to Boeing. This is the first international version of the radar, which will be installed aboard the P-81 aircraft which is being manufactured by Boeing for the Indian Navy.

The API-10 radar provides accurate information in all weather conditions both day and night for surveillance, reconnaissance and intelligence missions and anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare.

In order to meet the specific requirements of the Indian Navy, the company has added an extra feature, which is the air-to-air mode. This mode helps in tracking and detecting airborne targets and enables customers to track targets in air and sea. The cockpit has been enhanced with an integrated weather and search capability so that the latest weather information can be provided during surveillance missions. The APY-10 radar weighs less, consumes lesser power and has reduced average mean time between deployment and failure as compared to the earlier versions of the radar. The radar has been designed in such a manner that it can accommodate additional features in the future. Raytheon will provide eight APY-10 radars for the Indian Navy according to the contract.

Raytheon also specialises in mission systems integration, latest electronics, communication and intelligence systems and other areas such as control and command.
