Raytheon to continue DCGS support
Raytheon has been awarded a new contract worth $393 million by the US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center to continue its mission support for the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS), the company announced on 28 October.
DCGS is the service's primary ISR analysis tool.
The contract will see Raytheon continue to sustain, maintain and ensure operational availability of platforms and legacy systems that collect, process, analyse and disseminate data collected by sensors aboard the air force's ISR assets. These assets include the U-2, RQ-4 Global Hawk, MQ-1 Predator, MQ-9 Reaper and MC-12.
Dave Wajsgras, president, Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS), said: ‘This award recognises Raytheon's strong performance in delivering mission support solutions and significant cost savings. We clearly understand the importance and our responsibility to sustain and maintain this critical capability for our armed forces.’
Todd Probert, vice president, Raytheon IIS' Mission Support and Modernization, said: ‘Raytheon's product-agnostic approach to sustainment and maintenance led to significant cost savings for the air force over the last decade. In times of budgetary constraints, Raytheon is especially focused on working with our customers to identify the most efficient solutions while leveraging our deep expertise to provide assured mission performance for the warfighter.’
