Raytheon Awarded USD95 Million Army Contract For Joint Precision Strike Demonstration Program
LEXINGTON, Mass.--Raytheon Company has been awarded a five-year, USD95 million follow-on contract by the U.S. Army Topographic Engineering Center to support execution of the Joint Precision Strike Demonstration (JPSD) program. JPSD is a flexible research and development program encompassing multiple projects that create and demonstrate solutions to a variety of precision strike challenges. The majority of these projects are executed as Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (ACTDs), which involve the evolutionary development and integration of advanced technology solutions to solve critical warfighting issues. In the recently concluded Counter Multiple Rocket Launcher (CMRL) ACTD, advanced integrated command and control capabilities were developed and transitioned to U.S. Forces, Korea, to improve effectiveness. On-going activities include the Rapid Terrain Visualization (RTV) ACTD, which is developing a capability to produce high-resolution digital terrain products rapidly for U.S. early entry combat forces, and the recently initiated Theater Precision Strike Operations (TPSO) ACTD, which is addressing the critical needs of the ground component commander, U.S. Forces, Korea. In TPSO, Raytheon Systems Company will develop an automated operations center to improve the integration, planning and execution of theater-level precision strike operations by combined U.S. and Coalition Forces. Central to the successful execution of JPSD's multiple projects is the Integration and Evaluation Center (IEC) in Alexandria, Va., which provides the high fidelity tool set for rapidly assessing complex distributed systems in a realistic operational context. Developed by Raytheon, the IEC enables widely-distributed, large-scale exercises to combine C4I, weapon and sensor systems with a network of modeling and simulation centers to form a virtual warfighting environment.
