BAE has begun production of a sensor that augments the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The LRASM comes out of a DARPA program to design a stealth missile\u2019s range, survivability and lethality capabilities to help war fighters more effectively conduct missions in denied environments from beyond the reach of return fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BAE received a $40 million subcontract from LRASM prime contractor Lockheed Martin. BAE recently provided sensor technology to support a demonstration of the anti-ship missile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBAE Systems\u2019 advanced mid-course sensor technology incorporates the company\u2019s software and hardware capabilities designed for the world\u2019s leading electronic warfare aircraft platforms,\u201d said a company news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe sensor system also represents the company\u2019s approach to bringing precision guidance to small platforms and builds on the company\u2019s expertise in signal processing and target detection and location.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe production of our advanced sensor for LRASM is a testament to the strength of our technology and our ability to transition the capability from airframes to missiles,\u201d said Joseph Mancini, BAE\u2019s program manager for LRASM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrecision guidance and advanced electronics are areas where we have leading capabilities, and where we can provide war fighters with an advantage on the battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
BAE Systems is adding sensors to the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile, a joint Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Office of Naval Research program to develop a semi-autonomous missile able to detect and attack specific high-threat maritime targets within groups of ships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":39830,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":12,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[106,12,29,15,32,42],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3399],"class_list":["post-13598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-brief","category-electronic-warfare","category-home","category-intel-geoint","category-newsletters","category-sensors"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"RMGKE4V7IRH3BICBC5GN6ULA2U","arc_canonical_url":"\/electronic-warfare\/2017\/11\/13\/a-next-gen-precision-guided-stealth-missile-is-gaining-seeker-technology\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"\n
