Raytheon AGM-88 HARM

A decade’s worth of investment to counter the latest Russian and Chinese threats is finally close to entering operational service across the U.S. fighter fleet.

Raytheon has been awarded a $20 million contract to develop an advanced multi-chip package for use in airborne, maritime and ground sensors.

The Pentagon will roll out one more tranche of aid for Ukraine before the end of the month as allocated funding will dry up.

The service is undertaking a series of new munitions programs.

Ukraine’s military commander on March 30 repeated his request for Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters.

The Pentagon’s newest batch of aid for Ukraine includes additional missiles for Ukrainian aircraft to target Russian surface-to-air missile systems.

Sharing low-cost emitters with Ukrainian forces is one innovative way to help complicate the air picture for Russia.
