Raytheon to develop radar software for next-gen US naval radars. Raytheon's software lets each radar building block operate independently, so one radar can run multiple missions. Raytheon, a RTX business has secured a contract from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to further develop advanced radar software for modern naval platforms. The agreement tasks Raytheon's Advanced Technology team with creating software that allows individual components within radar systems to function independently. This will enable one radar to carry out multiple functions at the same time, RTX said in a statement on 18 May 2026. Raytheon's software will allow each radar building block to work as a self-contained, software-defined aperture. This solution is intended to allow rapid adaptation to new operational requirements and improve the radar's ability to operate within congested electromagnetic environments, including areas where commercial networks such as 5G are active. Raytheon Advanced Technology president Colin Whelan said: "The electromagnetic spectrum is more crowded than ever, and its systems have to be smarter about how they operate in it. "With precise, software-driven control over where and how we radiate, we're taking an important step forward in how we use software-defined apertures to keep pace with evolving mission demands." Raytheon's approach builds on its previous...
