With more than 30 years of experience as a lead systems integrator developing and maintaining over-the-horizon radars, Raytheon brings forth the Next Generation Over-the-Horizon Radar, designed with increased sensitivity, when compared to legacy OTHRs, to detect advanced threats. 

Investing in the Future
With the company’s investments in high frequency technology, unique 2D array design, signal processing/tracking, and advanced command and control systems, Raytheon is the only U.S. company positioned to develop and produce next-gen OTHR. 

Raytheon’s next-gen OTHR solution uses Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) decision aids to better support the operator, and our extensive work in Adaptive Signal Processing and advanced digital beamforming mitigates clutter, reduces processing requirements and improves target detection.

Finally, the radar is designed with the ability to receive the cyber certifications necessary to seamlessly integrate into a greater cruise missile defense of the homeland layered defense system. 

Over-the-Horizon Radar
Over-the-Horizon Radars use high frequency radio raves and bounce the signal off the ionosphere to look for targets using a “top-down” approach.
