Raytheon [RTN] UK recently said it has been awarded a contract by the U.K. Ministry of Defense to deliver a new GPS Anti-Jam Antenna System. The contract value was not released.
The contract, for an undisclosed number of advanced systems, is for deployment in operational theaters spanning multiple vehicle platforms.
This Urgent Operational Requirement contract is the first award for Raytheon’s GPS Anti-Jam (AJ) Land product family.
Bob Delorge, chief executive, Raytheon UK, said: “Raytheon UK has a track record of on-time delivery for GPS AJ systems, having delivered over 7,000 units for air and naval capabilities in the U.K. and U.S. Many of the military platforms used in operations are protected by the proven Raytheon GPS anti-jam technology, and the first order for our Land GPS AJ product family marks a significant success.”
The contract will see the deployment of the systems under a very short timescale, with final delivery of the capability expected to be completed six months from contract award.
