Overview
- The Office of Naval Research awarded Raytheon $22.6 million for the STORM radar software program.
- STORM, short for Subarray Transmit Orthogonality for Receive Multiplexing, aims to let each radar subarray operate on its own.
- The approach would let one shipboard radar track threats, guide weapons, and scan for targets at the same time.
- The software will shape radar transmissions to share spectrum with nearby 5G networks and reduce interference.
- Raytheon plans a series of demonstrations before fleet use, with work scheduled through April 2029.
