Raytheon gets $42M Navy deal for pod systems

MCKINNEY, Texas (AP) - Raytheon Co. received a $42 million contract from the Navy to provide 14 infrared pod systems and spares to the Swiss Air Force, the company said Monday.

The advanced targeting forward looking pod system, ATFLIR, will be delivered in 2010 to the Swiss government for use on their F/A-18 Hornet aircraft.

The additional pods will give the Swiss Air Force advanced sensor and laser-tracking capability, according to Raytheon.

Shares of the Waltham, Mass.-based company fell 66 cents to $47.67 in morning trading.
