Boeing unveils cheap radar seeker built from off-the-shelf parts

Boeing has unveiled a new radar seeker designed for guided weapons, constructed using off-the-shelf parts to reduce production costs. The company asserts that seekers are typically among the most expensive components of guided weaponry. According to Boeing, these high costs currently limit the quantity of weapons the military can afford to purchase. By utilizing more affordable components, Boeing aims to lower the financial barrier, potentially increasing the volume of guided weapons available for military use.
