Solution to dramatically improve quality of the battlefield common operating picture
(San Diego, November 17, 2008) -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) and L-3 Communications are developing new technology that dramatically improves the common operating picture of every soldier on the battlefield.
The companies will highlight this combination of modem technology, highly directional antennas, and robust routing of data over networks at the MILCOM 2008 conference, Nov. 17-19, in San Diego.
"Getting intelligence and surveillance information to the right place at the right time is the key to network centric warfare," said Jerry Powlen, vice president, Raytheon Network Centric Systems' Integrated Communications Systems. "This solution addresses this very real challenge by bringing new technology to the edge of the battlefield."
Raytheon's solution establishes seamless, robust and rapid network connections and maintains them regardless of operational conditions in the air, on land, or at sea. It has been field tested in a military environment and enables the warfighter to focus on the primary mission.
This mobile ad hoc network capability is critical to high-data applications where significant amounts of information can be lost if communications are down -- even if only for a matter of seconds.
"L-3's advanced software-defined modem technology supports data rates in the 100s to 1000s of millions of bits per second in either continuous or pulsed modes, which allow aperture sharing with radar pulses," said Susan Opp, president, L-3 Communications Systems-West. "Sharing critical information over radar apertures mitigates the need for additional platform space because existing radar apertures are already installed on aircraft, ground vehicles and ships."
