In December 1999, Raytheon Systems Ltd was awarded a contract for the development of the UK Ministry of Defence airborne stand-off radar (ASTOR). The system, which includes five Bombadier Global Express business jet aircraft fitted with a derivative of the Raytheon ASARS-2 radar, is an airborne battlefield or ground surveillance radar system for operation with the Royal Air Force and the British Army.
The ASTOR is to be known as Sentinel R1 in RAF service. The first production aircraft was delivered to Raytheon in February 2002 for integration of the ASTOR system.
Raytheon will focus on several key areas to include global intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; unmanned systems, both aerial and ground control; air traffic management; the Patriot Air and Missile Defense System; Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar; cybersecurity; and its ThalesRaytheonSystems international partnership.
Among the exhibits on display are the ASTOR Sentinel aircraft, Universal Control System, KillerBee®, F-16 Center Pedestal Display, and more technologies and products. A Patriot fire unit will be located at the U.S. Defense Department corral.
The company has scheduled the following press briefings during the show:
