Visitors to the Raytheon booth during Aero India will find a number of products on display including:
1) Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft
Raytheon’s AESA radar, electronic warfare systems and targeting pod offer technological capabilities that are among the most advanced being considered for India’s Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft competition. From towed decoys to an EW suite to advanced radar technology to air-to-air missiles and strike weapons, Raytheon intends to support the Indian Air Force with the best available technology and strong business relationships with members of Indian industry.
In addition, Raytheon’s air-to-air missiles and strike weapons are the most advanced in the world and being considered for India’s Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft competition. Products include: AIM-9 ‘Sidewinder’, High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM), Maverick, Joint Stand Off Weapon and Paveway laser guided bombs.
2) Homeland Security
With both military and civilian security applications, Raytheon offers solutions for situational and domain awareness. The company’s Athena system integrates, merges and displays data from multiple existing systems as a solution for port and border security. Another, RAID, elevates a suite of sensors on a tower or under an aerostat and provides persistent surveillance over a defined area in support of forward deployed forces, or for border and coastal surveillance.
3) Naval
Capabilities
In naval capabilities, Raytheon offers India and other allies the combat management system for current and future ships. Raytheon is also the only U.S. supplier of MK 54 lightweight torpedoes and MK 48 heavyweight torpedoes.
Raytheon is ready to assist the Indian Navy with the training and maintenance requirements for its technology. In 2007, when India acquired the INS ‘Jalashwa’ from the US Navy, the Indian Navy decided to retain the two Phalanx Close In Weapon Systems already onboard.
4) Air and Missile Defence
In air and missile defence, many countries of the world have deployed or are considering Raytheon’s Patriot, Hawk XXI and SL-AMRAAM systems. Patriot is a long-range, all-altitude, all-weather system. Hawk XXI is highly lethal against low-to-medium altitude systems, and SL-AMRAAM represents the next generation in advanced short-to-medium range air and missile defense systems.
Each system integrates with existing air defence systems and provides protection from threat aircraft, cruise missiles and tactical ballistic missiles. These products and technologies will be featured at the Aero India show.
5) Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems
Raytheon’s Multi-Mission Maritime Capabilities on Display at Aero India Raytheon will highlight the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) radar capabilities behind the US Navy’s P-8A Poseidon program.

IAI to send G550-based AEW system to Aero India
Israel Aerospace Industries is to send its Gulfstream G550-based conformal airborne early warning and control (CAEW) system aircraft to the Aero India 2009 show in mid-February. Developed by IAI's Elta Systems subsidiary for the Israeli defence ministry, the modified business jet was delivered to the Israeli air force in February 2008 and has subsequently entered operational service. A second example was delivered in May 2008.
The long-endurance, high-altitude aircraft, which made its first public appearance at last year's Farnborough air show in the UK, is equipped with a conformal dual-band active electronically scanned array radar, plus identification friend-or-foe equipment, electronic support measures and an integrated self-protection system. The CAEW aircraft also has a comprehensive communication suite designed to support network-centric operations.
IAI officials recently cited India as a potential customer for additional airborne early warning systems, with Elta already poised to deliver the nation's first Ilyushin Il-76 modified for the role.
