Raytheon will Anti-Jam AF's C-130

GPS World, Feb, 2004

Raytheon of El Segundo, California, has been awarded a $7.6 million engineering and manufacturing development contract to supply anti-jam GPS receivers to the U.S. Air Force's C-130 Avionic Modernization Program.

Lead contractor Boeing Integrated Defense Systems selected the Raytheon Digital Anti-Jam Receiver (DAR) to provide the C-130 aircraft with robust and accurate navigation components. Under a follow-on contract, 982 DAR systems at a cost of nearly $37.3 million may be required.

Raytheon's Space and Airborne Systems division will adapt the DAR militarized GPS anti-jam sensor, originally developed for high-performance fighters such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, to the Boeing C-130 AMP architecture. Each DAR system will include a 24-channel Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) receiver, digital anti-jam electronics, and a multi-element antenna.
