Raytheon Technologies has revealed its latest electro-optical intelligent-sensing system called RAIVEN. Torrey Cady, vice president of Surveillance and Targeting Systems at Raytheon Intelligence & Space, says: "RAIVEN improves platform survivability and keeps the warfighter safe by providing accurate, persistent target observation coupled with accelerated information sharing. This combination enables a decision-making process that simultaneously reduces pilot workload while accelerating engagement decisions to prosecute targets much faster than adversaries."
RAIVEN intelligent-sensing capability utilizes artificial intelligence, hyperspectral imaging, and light detection and ranging to enable pilots or operators to view up to five times farther and more precisely than traditional optical imaging. This allows an increase in platform survivability and provides a decisive advantage over threats. RAIVEN also synthesizes data into a detailed picture of the battlespace and its dangers. The artificial intelligence in RAIVEN can detect and identify threats while providing a critical capability while drastically reducing operator workload. Raytheon is pitching the first version of the system for the US Army's Future Vertical Lift aviation modernization initiative, being conducted in 2024.
