Raytheon, TELDAT complete CDR of Patriot routers
Raytheon and TELDAT have completed the Critical Design Review (CDR) of their militarised routers for the Patriot air and missile defence system, Raytheon said on 9 March.
Raytheon and TELDAT partnered in October 2014 as part of Raytheon’s pursuit of Poland’s WISLA programme.
The completion of the CRD phase validates the router design and its capability to meet all requirements of the Patriot system. This validation enables the company to transition into the manufacturing and design qualification phase of the programme.
Daniel Crowley, president, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, said: ‘TELDAT has demonstrated exemplary technical capabilities in support of this key initiative.
‘When we contracted with TELDAT, we envisioned a long-term partnership beyond just WISLA. By producing this militarised router, TELDAT will have access to an export market among established users worldwide – an opportunity unique to our global Patriot customers.’
Polish industry will play a major role in the design, engineering and software of the next-generation Patriot system, including co-production of a large portion of this future capability.
Raytheon has signed 28 initial teaming agreements and seven contracts from the WISLA programme and beyond.
