09:02 AM EDT, 10/07/2024 (MT Newswires) -- RTX's (RTX) Raytheon unit said Monday that it has recently conducted controlled environmental tests for its Barracuda Mine Neutralization System, which uses sonar and camera systems to locate and neutralize undersea mines.

The company said the tests, which were conducted at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division in Maryland, demonstrated the Barracuda vehicle's ability to detect, track, and hold position on a target on its own.

Raytheon added that the Barracuda program will begin low-rate initial production in 2027.
