Raytheon's JLENS Successfully Completes 14-day Endurance Test


Raytheon Company's aerostat system -- Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Elevated Netted Sensors (JLENS) -- recently completed a successful 14-day endurance test at a range in Utah demonstrating its readiness.

"This recent 14-day endurance test demonstrates JLENS' capability now to be airborne on station for an extended period performing its surveillance mission at lower costs than other systems and in a reliable manner.

This test, along with others, is proving JLENS' value as a critical component of the larger integrated air and missile defense mission."
