Raytheon has delivered its active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system to the Air Force, which means the service can begin the final phase of developmental flight testing once Boeing integrates the radar on an F-15C fighter. A company statement says the last phase involves multiple flight tests to ensure the radar meets all requirements. This latest AESA version offers “unparalleled targeting, tracking and enhanced situational awareness capabilities,” according to the statement.
While the Sentinel ICBM program writ large is undergoing a major restructure due to cost and schedule overages, prime contractor Northrop Grumman is touting progress on milestones with the missile itself.
