LRAS3 provides the U.S. Army Brigade Reconnaissance Troops, Armor and Infantry Battalion Scout Platoons, and the Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCT) with a long-range detection, recognition, identification and far-target location capability. The contract was awarded to DRS by Raytheon Company’s (NYSE: RTN – News) Network Centric Systems business in McKinney, Texas. The company’s DRS Optronics unit in Palm Bay, Florida will perform all work associated with the award at its state-of-the-art electro-optical design and production facilities.
