Raytheon job ad reveals big upgrade for Sky Warrior

Manager III-Program Management\n

In\nNovember of 2007, the U.S. Army selected RTN to provide a common sensor\npayload for manned and unmanned aircraft in a program that could\nrepresent more than \$1 billion in potential sales.  CSP\nwas awarded to Raytheon Army contract to provide the\nelectro-optic/infrared/laser designator (EO/IR/LD) payload for use on\nthe Army's Extended Range Multi-Purpose (ERMP) unmanned aerial vehicle\n(UAV).

 

In response to a recent army RFQ,   RTN\nhas proposed a significant upgrade program to the baseline CSP\nconfiguration to include High Definition (HD) EO/IR capability and\nTarget Location Accuracy (TLA) enhancements. This position is the\nprogram manager (PM) of the CSP TLA/HD  (approx\n\$30M) development program. The selected individual will be responsible\nfor managing all aspects of the development program including start up,\ngate reviews, customer reviews, customer daily interface, supplier\nmanagement, build of 6 integration and test systems, quality testing\nand flight testing. It is anticipated the CSP TLA/HD development\nprogram will result in retrofit of up to 100 baseline CSP systems and\nthis position would manage the follow-on retrofit business.  The\nTLA/HD upgrade program will be run in parallel with the CSP IDIQ base\nprogram and will require integration and leveraging with the on-going\nCSP production program
