PARIS, June 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon (NYSE: RTN) won a four-year $234 million initial low-rate production contract from the U.S. Navy to outfit all of its nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships with 23 Joint Precision Approach and Landing Systems. JPALS is a GPS-based precision landing system that guides aircraft to precision landings in all weather and surface conditions.
"The U.S. Navy understands how JPALS contributes to their mission success and safety of its people," said Matt Gilligan, vice president of Raytheon's Intelligence, Information and Services business. "Other military services could also benefit from the system's ability to safely land both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft in almost any low-visibility environment."
Since 2018, U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II fighter pilots have used JPALS to guide them onto the USS Wasp amphibious assault ship during deployed operations in what U.S. Navy Captain B. Joseph Hornbuckle III, program manager, Naval Air Traffic Management Systems Program Office called 'the most difficult conditions on Earth."
Earlier this year, F-35B pilots participated in two demonstrations of a new expeditionary version of the JPALS system that brings the same precision capability from sea to shore. The proof-of-concept events showed how the GPS-based system could be reconfigured into a mobile version to support landings in a traditional airport setting.
Expeditionary JPALS fits in five transit cases and could be repackaged for a variety of small transit vehicles transportable by C-130. Once on the ground, the system can be fully operational in under 90 minutes.

Fabien Gouttefarde, député de l'Eure, membre de la Commission de la défense et des forces armées, publie une analyse dans La Tribune. Il appelle à poursuivre l'effort budgétaire en faveur des armées au-delà de 2025, ainsi qu'à prolonger l'action engagée par Emmanuel Macron en faveur de l'autonomie stratégique européenne. « L'effort budgétaire doit se poursuivre. La marche dite des 3 Md€, bien que haute, devra être franchie pour poursuivre le cycle entamé de réparation de nos armées. Je propose qu'elle se poursuive, en 2026 et 2027 », déclare-t-il.
