Texas-based 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 morning’s news release points to the next-generation variant which it says 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.
