GhostEye® MR: A new radar for medium‐range air defense

In air and missile defense, the threat is diverse and ever‐changing.

Right now, that’s especially true of the medium‐range mission space, which has seen a proliferation of adversarial cruise missiles, drones, fixed‐wing and rotary wing aircraft.

“Today’s battlefield moves at a very rapid pace, and it’s riddled with a large portfolio of threats,” said Joe DeAntona, a retired U.S. Army colonel who is now vice president for Land Warfare and Air Defense requirements and capabilities at Raytheon Missiles & Defense. “Informed decisions must be made in seconds – not minutes or hours.”

Modern missile defense is about more than speed, said DeAntona, who was an air and missile defender for more than 30 years. He added that militaries also require radars that see in 360 degrees and can search, track, discriminate and cue interceptors against multiple types of threats.
