Raytheon unveils high-def targeting for US Navy helicopters

Published on August 12, 2025

Raytheon, a business of RTX, has introduced a new high-definition variant of its Multispectral Targeting System (MTS) designed to enhance maritime helicopter operations.

The new system, known as MTS-A HD, is intended to provide U.S. Navy helicopter pilots with sharper imaging and improved targeting accuracy during missions in challenging environments.

Raytheon stated that the upgraded sensor suite builds on the company’s existing MTS systems, already in service on more than 400 U.S. Navy helicopters.

“Navy helicopter pilots need the clearest possible view when flying in hostile areas,” said Bryan Rosselli, president of Advanced Products & Solutions at Raytheon. “Our new high-definition sensor system provides aircrews with superior visual capability, allowing them to make faster and more informed decisions when it matters most.”
