LIDS Systems for CENTCOM Operations

The 'LIDS Systems for CENTCOM Operations' contract, awarded to Raytheon Technologies (RTX) for $237 million, provides Ku-band Radio Frequency Sensors (KuRFS) for 360-degree drone detection and Coyote effectors for defeating low, slow, small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). It includes fixed-site and mobile LIDS configurations to support U.S. Army Central Command (CENTCOM) operations as part of the Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft Integrated Defeat System (LIDS), integrating with command-and-control and electronic warfare for robust counter-UAS defense.
