Raytheon to provide $31.8
million in technology to Italian government
LEXINGTON – Raytheon Co.’s $1.7 billion upgrade of air-traffic control systems for the Federal Aviation Agency has been cut.
The Lexington-based company, with office in Middletown, will no longer provide its Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System, it’s air-traffic control system, to the 18 U.S. airports, and instead it will only provide the systems to seven.
“We just didn’t get the funding we needed to do it,” Rebecca Trexler, a FAA spokesperson said in a statement. According to the FAA, the federal government has less money to spend on aviation.
Raytheon won the contract in 1996 to provide the computer software, displays and processors that will make it easier for controllers to track aircraft within 50 miles of takeoffs and landings. The system, which would replace equipment nearly 20 years old, also helps controllers track storms.
In other Raytheon news, the company was selected to provide its Integrated Electronics Suite of products to the Italian Navy’s multi-purpose vessel program. The IES products will include electronic, communications, and satellite communications hardware along with the integration, support and testing services needed to roll out the program.
