Raytheon, part of the American technology giant RTX, has started initial production of its SharpSight multi-domain surveillance radar, a system designed to deliver high-altitude, real-time, high-resolution imaging for land and maritime missions. SharpSight supports wide-area search and tracking capabilities in any weather, day or night.

 

The system merges technologies from Raytheon’s Highly Integrated Synthetic Aperture Radar (HISAR) and SeaVue Multi-Role Radar (SVMR), combining proven functions into a single next-generation platform. Its open architecture allows for cost-effective, fast upgrades, ensuring operators can respond quickly to evolving threats.

 

 

“This radar represents the next step in Raytheon’s long legacy of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance innovation,” said Daniel Theisen, president of Advanced Products and Solutions at Raytheon. “By merging the proven capabilities of HISAR and SeaVue, we’re delivering a flexible, exportable and affordable radar system designed to outperform on the most demanding multi-domain surveillance missions.”
