Raytheon wins U.S. Army contract for new Patriot radars

Oct 17 (Reuters) - Weapons maker Raytheon Co has been selected to provide the U.S. Army with a new radar for its Patriot air and missile defense system, the company said on Thursday.

The radar, known as Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS), will replace the current Patriot radars, also made by Raytheon.
