Raytheon Signs Contract to Develop Cooling System Technology for the U.S. Navy
 TMCnet Contributor
Raytheon ( News - Alert) Company was recently awarded a contract from the Office of Naval Research.
This contract results in the development of next-generation phase-change cooling system technology for the U.S. Navy.
The Advanced Naval Cooling System program plans to develop system-level solutions to implement phase-change cooling technologies in future naval combatants. The reason behind the selection of Raytheon's unique solution is that it is able to offer increased performance and enhanced cooling density. This leads to significant life-cycle cost savings.
'The ANCS program solves scientific and technical challenges that have prevented systems from taking advantage of the much higher performance enabled by two phase cooling," said Michael Del Checcolo, vice president of engineering for Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems. "This solution draws upon Raytheon's extensive experience in developing advanced thermal management technologies for high-power defense electronics.'
This contract is for 30 months and consists of two phases. The contract has a potential worth of $2.1 million if all the conditions are executed. Raytheon IDS will perform the work for this contract at the Surveillance and Sensors Center, Sudbury, Mass.
Raytheon Company has sold around $25 billion in 2009. It is a technology innovator which is specialized in defense, homeland security and other government markets all over the world. The company has more than 88 years of experience in the industry. It provides high-tech electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities.
