Congratulations to the USS Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29) crew on the historic ship’s commissioning. ⚓ The Raytheon-built SPY-6 family of radars are projected to be deployed on 60+ U.S. Navy ships over the next 10 years to defend against air, surface, and ballistic threats, and is the most tested, most advanced radar technology in production today. Our employees played a key role in the ship’s commissioning journey including spending a week out at sea, testing various capabilities onboard the LPD 29, the second U.S. Navy ship to deploy SPY-6(V) radar with dozens more to come. This milestone marked a shift for SPY-6 from factory to integration into the U.S. Navy fleet.
