Zumwalt Team Milestone Advances TSCE
(Tewksbury, Mass., March 12, 2008) -- The Zumwalt program's National Team recently achieved a significant program milestone with several key software design reviews for the Zumwalt-class destroyer's Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE), validating the maturity of the ship's open- architecture software.
The Zumwalt National Team is led by Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) and includes large industry partners such as BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin, as well as a consortium of small businesses. These industry partners work together with the U.S. Navy to ensure the highest level of program performance, technical quality and affordability.
TSCE comprises six releases of software, each adding mission capability and robustness to the ship's computing infrastructure. TSCE's modern, open architecture provides an affordable, cost-efficient platform for the reuse of more than 20 million lines of code from existing Navy programs.
"This is one of the largest, most sophisticated software efforts ever undertaken by Raytheon and the U.S. Navy -- one that will pay dividends in terms of capability and commonality for years to come," said Bob Martin, Raytheon Integrated Defense System's vice president and deputy of Seapower Capability Systems. "Each success matures the software and brings us closer to delivering extraordinary capabilities to the ships and warfighters of the Navy's fleet."
