Preparing for the upcoming competition for the Air Force-Army Joint Cargo Aircraft program, teammates Raytheon and EADS CASA North America announced their proposed entrants—the C-295 and CN-235 transports. The team also has selected the Mobile Regional Airport, Ala., as the final assembly and delivery site for their North American sales of the aircraft.
RTX’s Raytheon unit was able to “significantly” extend the range of the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile using mostly software changes in experimental tests last year, expanding the reach and lethality of the standard U.S. dogfighting weapon, company officials said Sept. 15.
