Raytheon Introduces Advanced Targeting System for US Navy Helicopters

Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business launched its newest Multispectral Targeting System variant, MTS-A HD, that offers significant visual enhancements for maritime helicopter operations.

This next-generation variant delivers improved targeting precision, imaging clarity, and expanded operational flexibility for naval helicopter platforms. Raytheon is collaborating with industry and commercial partners on the new variant to accelerate production and reduce system costs.

"Navy helicopter pilots need the clearest possible view when flying in hostile areas," said Bryan Rosselli, president of Advanced Products & Solutions at Raytheon. "Our new high-definition sensor system provides aircrews with superior visual capability, allowing them to make faster and more informed decisions when it matters most."

MTS-A HD builds on Raytheon's proven MTS family of sensors, which are already in use on over 400 U.S. Navy helicopters. The system's modular architecture allows for seamless integration and a cost-effective upgrade path for existing MTS users while providing enhanced capabilities.
