Jordan receives Raytheon C3/S capabilities
The Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF) has received key command, control, communications, and surveillance (C3/S) capabilities from Raytheon, the company announced on 8 July.
The capabilities were delivered under a $79 million Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) contract to help Jordan secure its borders with Iraq and Syria. The operational capability is already in use.
Raytheon will also provide capabilities including the design, setup and testing of the complete C3/S system, which includes radars, communications, command and control software and electro/optical infrared cameras.
Design, integration and testing of 18 quick reaction team vehicles and solar-based renewable power systems will also be covered under the contract.
Additionally, the company will integrate all sensors with its Clear View Security Solutions and upgrade the border security operations centre, training centre, equipment warehouse and maintenance workshop; and train system operators, maintainers and administrators and transition system and sustainment capability to the JAF border guard forces.
Dave Wajsgras, president of intelligence, information and services (IIS), Raytheon, said: 'Raytheon delivers border security capabilities across the globe that help protect countries from a wide range of threats. This work is vital in the Middle East, and we are particularly pleased that we were able to deliver these critical security capabilities to Jordan ahead of schedule.'
