OTEK Corp monitors critical data on Raytheon's "Phalanx" Close-In Weapon System

Nearly (3) three years ago, the Raytheon Missle Systems in Tucson approached OTEK to develop a high-performance seven-segment, five-digit remote display for use in the front panel instrument assembly of the "Phalanx" Close-In Weapon System's local control station. Special Requirements included, but were not limited to, ACSII coded 0-9 and modified alpha and DP characters, and a 9600 baud rate. General specifications also called for EMI/RFI shielding to MIL-standards and numerous environmental requirements such as extreme operating temperatures, shock and vibration, and low barometric pressure.

OTEK accepted the challenge and submitted prototypes, the final version of which was approved by Raytheon in late 2005 with the first supplier contract issued in early 2006. The actual application of this custom remote display for the "Phalanx" Missle System provides the control and display of critical radar parameters and data such as range and angle of the incoming threat, and mount position. "Phalanx" is the most widely used ship self-defense system in the world and is found in the fleets of (24) Navies.

OTEK Corporation is a privately owned company located in Tucson, AZ. The company designs and manufactures precision process control instruments used in a variety of industries including nuclear, areospace and defense contractors.
