Raytheon logo_EbizRaytheon has demonstrated the target update functions of its Griffin C missile when the system redirects to a new object during a flight test.

The company performed the three-for-three flight tests at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona for the U.S. Navy‘s Littoral Combat Ship surface-to-surface missile module, Raytheon said Tuesday.

“With its extended range motor, Griffin C’s increased capability addresses the need for a longer range missile with in-flight retargeting,” said Thomas Bussing, vice president of advanced missile systems at Raytheon’s missile systems segment.

“Because they often operate in a high-traffic, littoral waters, naval warfighters must make split-second decisions to engage or disengage targets,” Bussing added.

Raytheon also connected the new dual-mode seeker, data link and the missile’s in-flight target update system.
