Raytheon testing new target seeker for Tomahawk missiles: Raytheon plans to test a multi-mode seeker for Tomahawk Block IV cruise missiles to show it can enable the missile to hit moving land and sea targets.
The self-funded captive flight test will use a modified Tomahawk Block IV missile nose cone equipped with active and passive radio frequency antennas integrated with Raytheon's new modular, multi-mode processor and fitted to a T-39 aircraft, which will simulate a Tomahawk flight regime.
Raytheon said the multi-mode seeker and its multi-function processor will operate the active radar against fixed and mobile targets on land and at sea.
