Raytheon, an RTX business, has received a contract from Blue Raven to produce 120 SharpSight radars. The order represents the largest single purchase for the system to date.
SharpSight is a software-defined surveillance radar designed for manned and unmanned platforms. It supports missions including anti-surface warfare, border protection, coastal monitoring, search and rescue, and long-range surveillance. The radar excels in high-altitude detection of small targets, allowing operations at greater altitudes and ranges for extended mission endurance.
Under the agreement, Raytheon will handle production and sustainment of the radars. Blue Raven, previously known as Crestwood Technology Group, will manage global resale and distribution. The partnership aims to provide operators with access to the surveillance technology in international markets.
The announcement came on May 6, 2026, from McKinney, Texas.
