Raytheon selects Sofradir’s detector cooler assemblies for U.S. Army solution

Network Centric Systems personnel at Raytheon Co. in McKinney, Texas, placed a multimillion-dollar order with Sofradir, a developer and manufacturer of advanced infrared detectors in Veurey-Voroize, France.

Sofradir has been contracted to supply second-generation mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) Dewar detector cooler assemblies. The award provides Raytheon and the U.S. Army with another qualified source of critical night-vision technology. Sofradir executives expect the first deliveries to be made later this year.
