RTX Demonstrates SeaVue Radar's Advanced Long-Range Detection at RIMPAC 2024

At the Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2024, RTX showcased the impressive capabilities of its SeaVue multi-role radar, mounted on an MQ-9B SeaGuardian drone. The demonstration highlighted SeaVue's long-range target detection prowess, setting a new standard for maritime surveillance and target acquisition.

During the exercise, the SeaVue radar effectively monitored and tracked multiple targets from an extended range. The real-time data captured by the radar was transmitted to an F/A-18 Super Hornet, which utilized this information to engage a decommissioned amphibious assault ship with a Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM). This successful engagement underscored the radar’s ability to provide precise targeting data essential for effective weapons deployment.

Bryan Rosselli, President of RTX Advanced Solutions, emphasized that the demonstration showcased SeaVue's capability to deliver high-fidelity targeting data, crucial for accurate weapons engagement. He noted that this capability not only enhances situational awareness in operational environments but also supports quicker decision-making and more efficient kill chains.

SeaVue radar is described as a modern, software-defined system offering all-weather surveillance capabilities. Its superior multi-mission performance is suited for both crewed and uncrewed platforms. The radar’s design includes features that allow it to quickly identify even small targets at long distances and high altitudes. Additionally, its modular and scalable architecture ensures that future upgrades can be incorporated without the need for hardware changes.

In addition to combat applications, SeaVue is versatile enough to support search and rescue operations, disaster response, and maritime law enforcement missions. This demonstration at RIMPAC reaffirms SeaVue's role as a cutting-edge solution in maritime radar technology, poised to enhance various mission profiles with its advanced capabilities.
