Defense prime Raytheon Company’s (NYSE:RTN) Missile Systems business segment recently secured a contract from the U.S. Air Force for providing vehicles and support equipment for Lot 10 Miniature Air Launched Decoy Jammer (MALD-J). Work related to this deal is expected to be over by Jun 30, 2020.
Valued at $76.1 million, this contract will utilize fiscal 2016 and 2017 procurement and operations as well as maintenance funds. Work will be carried out at Tucson, AZ. Notably, the contract was awarded by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Eglin Air Force Base, FL.
A Brief Note on MALD-J
Raytheon’s Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) is a low-cost, air-launched programmable craft. With MALD’s help, the U.S. and its allies can deceive enemy radars and integrated air defence systems by duplicating all combat flight profiles and radar signatures of their aircraft.
MALD-J is the jammer variant of the basic decoy system. The unmanned MALD-J navigates and operates much closer than conventional electronic warfares to the victim radar when jamming the electronics, allowing aviators and aircraft to stay out of harm’s way.
