Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, achieved positive RDE test results, boosting internal investment and DoD collaboration for future integrated engine and vehicle ground tests.
Passing this fully digital evaluation allows the team to begin procuring hardware for the construction of its XA103 prototype ground demonstrator, which is expected to test in the late 2020s.
CADS integrates AI/ML into Raytheon’s RWR systems, enhancing threat identification and aircrew survivability while enabling cost-effective, large-scale deployment of modern AI capabilities.
These successful subsystem demonstrations are a crucial step in meeting the U.S. Army's range and performance requirements for this transformational short-range air defense capability.
The upgraded Pro Line 21 avionics suite provides CPDLC, ADS-B In weather information and enhanced connectivity, improving productivity, data transfers and the stream of critical information available to pilots.
