Raytheon's JLENS and Patriot systems prove integration in intercept test

Two Raytheon systems, the Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System (JLENS) and the Patriot Air and Missile Defense System, demonstrated their ability to work together to detect, track and shoot down a test target simulating a hostile cruise missile during an exercise at the Utah Training and Test Range.

This test reinforces the ability of Raytheon systems to integrate in support of a comprehensive air and missile defense strategy involving multiple sensors and interceptors.

"When systems like JLENS, Patriot and others work together, the capability of our nation's air and missile defenses is significantly improved," said David Gulla, vice president of Global Integrated Sensors for Raytheon's Integrated Defense Systems business.
