Raytheon has come to Dubai to press the case for its special-mission aircraft expertise in a region where the U.S. company sees a healthy market for airborne ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance). It can supply a wide range of sensors from its own stable, such as the AVES EO/IR system and SeaVue radar for maritime applications, but also has the capability to fully integrate mission equipment from other manufacturers.

The U.S. company’s portfolio includes datalinks and satcoms, exploitation systems and the ability to pull together expertise from across the company to build C4I infrastructures. The organic ability to provide mission equipment has been enhanced by the recent acquisition of Applied Signals Technology, which specializes in signals intelligence.
