RTX said Monday that Raytheon won an Office of Naval Research contract to further develop software-defined radar capability for next-generation naval radars.
The company said the work centers on software-defined apertures, an approach that lets individual radar building blocks operate independently. RTX said that structure is designed to support multiple missions at the same time and improve adaptation to changing operational needs.
RTX also said the concept is meant to help with spectrum sharing alongside commercial networks such as 5G.
Reuters later carried the same contract award, describing the technology as moving toward operational naval radar systems.
The contract value was not disclosed in the reporting, and the public materials did not include a delivery schedule or program milestone timeline.
