October 13, 2025 | RTXEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Raytheon, an RTX business, has launched the initial production of its new SharpSight multi-domain surveillance radar. This next-generation system will provide high-altitude, real-time, high-resolution imaging with wide-area search and tracking for land and maritime surveillance, operating day or night in any weather condition.
SharpSight fuses the capabilities of two of Raytheon's proven radar families – the Highly Integrated Synthetic Aperture Radar (HISAR) and the SeaVue Multi-Role Radar (SVMR) – and can be rapidly integrated on a variety of manned and unmanned systems. Its open architecture enables inexpensive, rapid upgrades, ensuring operators remain ahead of emerging threats.
"This radar represents the next step in Raytheon's long legacy of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance innovation," said Daniel Theisen, president of Advanced Products and Solutions at Raytheon. "By merging the proven capabilities of HISAR and SeaVue, we're delivering a flexible, exportable and affordable radar system designed to outperform on the most demanding multi-domain surveillance missions."
SharpSight is designed for high-altitude precision and persistence, enabling critical missions such as anti-surface warfare, border protection, coastal monitoring, search and rescue, long-range surveillance, and more. It conforms with the latest U.S. Government export policy guidance enabling these advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities to be offered to global partners and allies.
