Raytheon Shows Off Aware Technology
The well-dressed JTAC of the near future could soon be using Raytheon’s Aware technology, including helmet-mounted monocle for viewing marked targets and for designating new ones, and a wrist-worn display and control panel. The full ensemble also includes a compact, chest-worn computer.

Raytheon has developed a range of products under the Aware (advanced warfighter awareness for real-time engagement) label that provide enhanced situational awareness and intuitive networking for both aircrew and soldiers on the ground. Some of the capabilities are on display here in Raytheon’s pavilion, where key elements of an F-16 cockpit upgrade are on show, linked with a new proof-of-concept demonstrator of a system that could significantly aid JTACs (joint tactical air controllers) working in the field.
