(Reston, Va., November 14, 2008) -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has submitted its proposal for the Air Force Global Broadcast Service (GBS) Satellite Broadcast Manager Defense Enterprise Computing Center (DECC) Transition contract.
The Air Force Electronic Systems Center, Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., will transition GBS broadcast functionality to centralized Defense Information System Agency computing centers and position the system to meet and support the evolving needs of the warfighter.
GBS is a worldwide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support system. Military forces receive high-speed, high-volume multimedia communications with critical intelligence and situational awareness data. This effort will integrate GBS into future net-centric operations across the global information grid.
"The Raytheon-led team has proposed a low-risk solution to ensure the successful transition of this mission critical capability to the new computing centers," said Michael D. Keebaugh, president of Raytheon's Intelligence and Information Systems business. "Raytheon sustains an 11-year history as the GBS solutions provider for the Air Force and continues to build on 40 years of leadership in precision satellite ground command and control and data processing systems."
