Raytheon, an RTX business
Raytheon, an RTX business, recently broke ground on a $53 million, 23,000ft2 expansion of its Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor Production Facility in Andover, Mass.
The Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor, or LTAMDS, is a radar designed to defeat advanced threats, including hypersonic weapons. Raytheon is adding several capacity enhancements to accelerate delivery of next-generation capabilities at the Andover facility.
"This vital investment will significantly bolster our ability to meet the growing global demand for LTAMDS," says Tom Laliberty, president of Land and Air Defense Systems at Raytheon. "The expansion will accelerate delivery of this critical radar to U.S. and international customers, ensuring they are equipped with the most advanced defense technology available."
The LTAMDS Production Facility is the final integration point of the radar for U.S. and international customers. The factory currently handles Patriot testing.
Raytheon's Andover campus first opened in 1980. Expansion construction is scheduled to conclude in late 2026.
