TEWSKBURY, Mass., Oct. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) is advancing in the U.S. Army's Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor, or LTAMDS, competition and now enters the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction phase of the program. During TMRR, Raytheon will demonstrate LTAMDS performance through multiple technology demonstrations, using a fully operational array and later an integrated radar prototype, to prove the maturity of the Raytheon design.
