So far it\u2019s on track and on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company finished building the first radar antenna array in less than 120 days after being selected for the job, following a competition to replace the service\u2019s Patriot air and missile defense system sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The radar will become a part of the service\u2019s future Integrated Air and Missile Defense System that will replace the entire Patriot system. Raytheon also manufactures the Patriot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raytheon has taken its years of experience refining gallium nitride technology at its Massachusetts-based foundry to help design a new radar system that will provide the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/commentary\/2018\/11\/06\/dont-dumb-down-this-us-army-radar\/\" target=_blank>Army 360-degree threat detection capability<\/a> in a configuration that includes one large array in the front and two smaller arrays in the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The contract is worth roughly $384 million to deliver six production-representative units of the LTAMDS. The Army is working to rapidly deliver initial capability under an urgent materiel release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service in 2019 held a <a
