Raytheon taps North Atlantic for communications and embedded computing for LTAMDS missile-defense radar

Missile-defense experts at Raytheon Technologies Corp. needed high-density I/O, communications, Ethernet switching, and embedded computing capability for the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS). They found their solution from North Atlantic Industries Inc. in Bohemia, N.Y. Officials of the Raytheon Missiles & Defense segment in Andover, Mass., are choosing the North Atlantic SIU35 3U CompactPCI sensor interface unit for the LTAMDS, which is to replace the U.S. Army Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept on Target (PATRIOT) missile system. LTAMDS is the next generation, 360-degree missile-defense radar that ultimately will replace the current U.S. Army's PATRIOT missile radars. The radar has gallium nitride components,and was scheduled to reach initial operational capability with the Army in 2022.
