RTX’s Raytheon delivers first AN/TPY-2 radar to U.S. Missile Defense Agency

Raytheon, an RTX (RTX) business, has delivered the first AN/TPY-2 radar to the U.S. Missile Defense Agency with a complete Gallium Nitride, or GaN, populated array. The AN/TPY-2 is a missile defense radar that is ready to defend the U.S. homeland and American allies by detecting, tracking and discriminating ballistic missiles in multiple phases of flight. GaN provides greater sensitivity to increase range, expands surveillance capacity and supports the hypersonic defense mission. The radar also features the latest CX6 high-performance computing software that offers more precise target discrimination and electronic attack protection.
