RTX’s Raytheon complete 10 subsystem demonstrations for U.S. Army’s NGSRI

Raytheon, an RTX (RTX) business, announced a series of 10 successful subsystem demonstrations for the U.S. Army’s Next-Generation Short-Range Interceptor, NGSRI, which will eventually replace the Stinger surface-to-air missile. “These successful subsystem demonstrations are a crucial step in meeting the U.S. Army’s range and performance requirements for this transformational short-range air defense capability,” said Tom Laliberty, president of Land & Air Defense Systems at Raytheon. “We are confident in our ability to rapidly deliver the Army an affordable, low-risk, highly producible NGSRI solution.” Over the past several months, the Raytheon industry team completed all 10 of their subsystem tests, each critical to ensuring alignment with the Army’s system performance requirements for NGSRI. Notable tests include: Seeker; Flight rocket motor; Command launch assembly; Warhead.
