Raytheon, a business of RTX, has introduced a new high-definition variant of its Multispectral Targeting System, known as MTS-A HD, designed to enhance maritime helicopter operations. The advanced system promises improved targeting accuracy, clearer imaging, and greater operational flexibility for naval helicopter crews.

 

Developed to meet the demands of modern naval missions, the MTS-A HD offers substantial visual enhancements critical for performance in challenging environments. According to Bryan Rosselli, president of Advanced Products & Solutions at Raytheon, “Navy helicopter pilots need the clearest possible view when flying in hostile areas.”

 

 

The system builds on Raytheon’s established MTS family of sensors, which are currently in use on more than 400 U.S. Navy helicopters. “Our new high-definition sensor system provides aircrews with superior visual capability, allowing them to make faster and more informed decisions when it matters most,” Rosselli added.

Raytheon is working with industry and commercial partners to accelerate production of the MTS-A HD and drive down associated costs. The system features a modular design, enabling straightforward integration and cost-efficient upgrades for existing users.

 

 

Interest in the MTS-A HD extends beyond the United States, with international attention from Australia, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, India, Norway, Greece, Spain, South Korea, and developing markets in Europe and Asia. The system’s global appeal reflects its adaptable architecture and enhanced performance features.
