Raytheon, part of RTX Corporation, has raised the bar for surveillance and guidance systems on marine helicopters. At the exhibition, they presented an updated version of their proven multispectral guidance system (MTS), the new MTS-A HD model. The main goal of this update is to help U.S. Navy helicopters better "see" and aim more accurately in a complex and often unstable marine environment.
What has changed? The new MTS-A HD system boasted several improvements at once. First, there is increased image clarity — operators now get a more detailed and clear picture, which is crucial when performing complex tasks such as search and rescue, reconnaissance or weapon guidance. Secondly, the accuracy of guidance has been improved, which directly affects the effectiveness of combat operations. And, thirdly, the system has become even more flexible in operation.
The key advantage of MTS-A HD is its versatility. It is designed as a modular solution compatible with all current and future platforms of the US Navy marine helicopters. This means that it can be easily integrated into different types of vehicles, from anti-submarine to search and rescue. Moreover, Raytheon positions its system as cost—effective - it allows upgrading existing helicopters without requiring a complete replacement of complex and expensive electronics.
As a result, the MTS-A HD is not just a new camera, but a major step forward in providing naval pilots and operators with superior visual control and tactical advantage in the water area.
