Raytheon Solipsys C2 Software Deployed in Iraq

(Tewksbury, Mass., July 31, 2008) -- Two software products developed by Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) subsidiary Raytheon Solipsys are key components of a recently fielded system managing airspace in Iraq.

The Battlespace Command and Control Center (BC3) employed by the U.S. Central Command for airspace management in Iraq uses the Raytheon Solipsys advanced track fusion engine, Multi-Source Correlator Tracker (MSCT), and tactical visualization powered by the Tactical Display Framework (TDF). Since its deployment to Iraq, BC3 successfully completed operational testing and was fielded in February 2008 in response to an urgent capabilities need for an improved command and control system to manage U.S. and coalition air traffic in Iraq.

"With MSCT and TDF serving as the foundation of BC3, the Air Force is better able to manage airspace over Iraq by integrating multiple radars and displaying all air traffic," said Mark Trenor, president of Raytheon Solipsys. "With the fielding and testing of BC3, the Air Force airspace management controllers and mission crews have gained a much more detailed view of aircraft flying in an active Iraqi war zone. Also, it has the capability to integrate ground movements in the future."
