(RTTNews) - Raytheon Technologies (RTX) said the company was awarded a $237 million U.S. Army contract for Ku-band Radio Frequency Sensors and Coyote effectors to detect and defeat unmanned aircraft. KuRFS provides advanced 360-degree threat detection, while Coyote low-cost effectors defeat drones. KuRFS and Coyote are part of the U.S. Army's Low, slow, small-unmanned aircraft Integrated Defeat System, called LIDS.
