Naval Warfare

Naval forces must evolve rapidly to address increasingly sophisticated threats being ushered in by great power competition. Advanced technology is necessary to close the “detect-control-engage” loop in the maritime domain.

From sensors to command and control systems to precision weapons, Raytheon Missiles & Defense delivers innovation at the speed of relevance to protect U.S. and allied ships and sailors around the world.

Sensors

Sensors can identify threats quickly to give decision-makers insight at a moment's notice. Space-based sensors keep tabs on the environment, advanced radars monitor missile launches from across the globe, and infrared imaging devices expose what the human eye can't detect.
