So far, Raytheon-developed surveillance systems have been deployed to 24 countries, safeguarding a total of more than 6,000 miles of land and maritime borders.

As part of a programme started in 2015, the company has built an integrated border security system for another Middle Eastern nation.

Recently, the company has finished the final phase of work under the programme, which involved design, development and deployment of a security system.

The system features radars, unattended ground sensors, EO/IR cameras and physical barriers.

Raytheon has also developed a surveillance and communications system for an unidentified South East Asian nation to help counter illicit arms trafficking and protect maritime borders.
