Raytheon Co. and Northrop Grumman Co.Completed the development phase of the Cobra Judy Replacement (CJR) program. The two companies successfully delivered the CJR S-band active phased-array antenna to the CJR integration site at Kiewit Offshore Services, Corpus Christi, TX. The CJR program's mission is to provide the government with long-loiter, ballistic-missile data-collection capability. Its dual-band radar suite consists of X-band and S-band phased-array sensors, a common radar suite controller, and other related mission equipment. The program now progresses to full dual-band-radar integration and testing.
