Work To Commence On F/A-18 AN/APG-65 Radar
Raytheon Technical Services has been awarded delivery orders
totaling $16.6 million by the US Navy for the repair of weapons
replaceable assemblies and shop replaceable assemblies associated
with the F/A-18 AN/APG-65 radar.
These delivery orders provide funding for repair work during the
Navy's Fiscal Year (FY) 2005. With the exception of array repairs
-- which will be performed at Raytheon's El Segundo, Calif.,
facility because of specialized needs -- work will be performed in
Indianapolis. The contracting activity is the Naval Inventory
Control Point (NAVICP) Philadelphia.
"Over the years that Raytheon has provided airborne radar repair
and refurbishment services to NAVICP, we have continually improved
our repair performance," stated John P. Balaguer, RTSC vice
president and general manager of RTSC's Indianapolis-based business
unit. "During FY04, our lean repair initiatives reduced the number
of in-process repairs by 30 percent and the time it takes to
accomplish those repairs by 40 percent. With these and future
initiatives, we will be able to realize similar benefits in FY05
for our NAVICP customer."
