GOLETA, Calif., June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has
received a $16.6 million order for performance based logistics (PBL)
support of its state-of-the-art ALR-67(V)3 radar warning receiver system,
which protects crews of U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F carrier-based tactical
aircraft.
The order was received from the Naval Inventory Control Point,
Philadelphia, Pa., and covers the ninth annual increment in an 11-year
contract. The contract encompasses Mission Support of fielded ALR-67(V)3
systems, including repairs, spares, reliability and maintainability system
improvements, obsolescence management, and field installation support.
Contract performance is measured against requirement metrics for
availability and reliability and is managed with a comprehensive, Web-based
PBL information management system fully integrated with Navy supply
systems.
"Our PBL support for the ALR-67(V)3 is a model of excellence," said Roy
Azevedo, manager of Raytheon's Electronic Warfare business area. "By
eliminating traditional repair turnaround times and increasing system
reliability, we're able to achieve constant readiness for Navy F/A-18
warfighters."
The AN/ALR-67(V)3 system provides advanced techniques to detect and
identify threat radar emitters, thereby enhancing the survivability of
aircraft equipped with the system. More than 400 radar warning receivers
plus spares have now been ordered under the overall production program,
including systems for F/A-18 aircraft of the Royal Australian Air Force.
Work on the radar warning receiver system is being done by the
company's Electronic Warfare organization in Goleta with support of
facilities in El Segundo, Calif., Forest, Miss., and McKinney, Texas.
Obsolescence management is performed by the Naval Underwater Warfare
Center, Keyport, Wash., under a partnership agreement with Raytheon.
