Raytheon Technologies unveils next-generation electro-optical intelligent-sensing capability
Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX) has launched RAIVEN, an advanced electro-optical intelligent-sensing capability designed to enhance pilot performance through faster and more accurate threat identification. This innovative system utilizes artificial intelligence, hyperspectral imaging, and LiDAR technology, allowing operators to detect threats up to five times farther and more clearly than traditional systems.
RAIVEN aims to improve platform survivability and streamline decision-making processes, significantly reducing pilot workload while accelerating engagement timelines against adversaries. The modular system builds on Raytheon's established Multi-Spectral Targeting System family, enhancing mission versatility without changing size, weight, or power requirements. Initial testing of the RAIVEN system, specifically the RT-1000 version, is scheduled for 2024, as part of the U.S. Army's Future Vertical Lift modernization.

RAIVEN reduces pilot workload while accelerating engagement decisions much faster than adversaries
RAIVEN can identify objects optically and spectrally simultaneously in real-time — a single electro-optical/infrared, or EO/IR, system has never been able to do this before.
RAIVEN's 'intelligent-sensing' capability uses artificial intelligence, hyperspectral imaging, and light detection and ranging, or LiDAR, to enable operators to see up to five times farther and clearer than traditional optical imaging. This helps increase platform survivability and gives the warfighter decision advantage over peer threats.
"The future battlespace will consist of a myriad of threats from all directions evolving at an unprecedented pace," said
Paired with AI, RAIVEN synthesizes reams of data into a detailed picture of the battlespace and the threats within it. The AI automatically detects and identifies threats, delivering a level of automation for the operator to choose what decisions need to be made – providing a critical capability while drastically reducing operator workload.
RAIVEN is a modular, open system that builds upon the successes of
The first version of RAIVEN, RT-1000, can support a wide array of missions, including the
Work for this program is being done in McKinney, Texas.
