[Satellite TODAY 11-13-12] Raytheon Company has met critical performance requirements to advance ongoing system integration on the U.S. Navy Cobra Judy Replacement (CJR) program by achieving two significant milestones during testing onboard the USNS Howard O. Lorenzen (T-AGM 25), the company announced Nov. 13.

      Raytheon demonstrated the full-power radiation capability for the first time with the high sensitivity CJR shipboard X- and S-band active phased-array radars. Also, under the control of the CJR common radar suite controller, both the X-band and S-band radars acquired and tracked satellites successfully.
      "These operational successes validate the exceptional design of these radars and significantly advance our progress toward completing integration," U.S. Navy CJR Program Manager and Program Executive Office – Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS 2I) Captain Rod Wester said in a statement. "The dedication of the Raytheon-led team and their experience with large-scale radar development and integration was evident as we worked together to achieve these critical milestones."
      Delivery of this program is scheduled for 2013 and is a result of the collaborative working relationship between Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Navy.
