Raytheon has sold its aerial targets business to Sacramento, California-based Composite Engineering. The Andover, Kansas-based unit, which employs 29 people, produces MQM-107 subsonic drones and guidance sections for the GQM-163A supersonic sea-skimming target. Composite Engineering is developing the BQM-167A subscale aerial target, with deliveries to the USAir Force to begin early next year. Raytheon says the targets business was no longer strategic.
