The system\u2019s modular architecture enables seamless integration and a cost-effective upgrade path for existing MTS users while providing enhanced capabilities, the company added.<\/p>\n The U.S. Navy isn\u2019t alone in its interest in the new system. Raytheon said the MTS-A HD is also attracting \u201csignificant international interest\u201d in Australia, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, India, Norway, Greece, Spain, South Korea, and emerging markets in Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss what\u2019s next.
