It’s been one year since the U.S. Army awarded Raytheon Missiles & Defense a $384 million contract to deliver six Lower Tier Air & Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) radar under an Other Transactional Authority (OTA) agreement. LTAMDS is a 360-degree active electronically scanned array radar powered by gallium nitride, a circuit material that strengthens the radar signal and enhances its sensitivity.Advertisement In this Q&A, Bob Kelley, Raytheon Missiles & Defense’s director of U.S. Requirements and Capabilities for Land Warfare & Air Defense, discusses the progress made on the program to this point.
