UPGRADES FOR CRITICAL U.S. ARMY VEHICLE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
NEWTOWN, Conn. -- The Long Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System (LRAS3) has been produced for the U.S. Army M1114 scout version of the HMMWV as well as other critical reconnaissance vehicles. With original LRAS3 units procured in the thousands since the system's introduction, continued production of spares and replacement units is expected through the decade.
In March 2016, the U.S. Army Project Manager for Terrestrial Sensors awarded contracts to Raytheon and DRS Technologies for the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase of the third-generation eLRAS3. Under terms of the contracts, third-generation would replace second-generation components, starting with those in the Abrams tank and the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The terms of the contract would expand to include a third-generation upgrade to the LRAS3 and other current or future ground or aviation sensor systems. In March 2020, Raytheon Technologies announced delivery of third-generation eLRAS3 systems under the U.S. Army contract awarded in 2016. The systems will support all next-generation interfaces, offering a common thermal sighting system across all vehicle types.
