EL SEGUNDO, Calif.,
May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Intelligence & Space, a Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX)
business, will provide signals intelligence field services for the
U.S. Air Force's Distributed Common Ground System, which collects,
processes and analyzes intelligence.
RI&S will support seven different intelligence
applications the Air Force uses to collect and correlate data under
the new program, DCGS-Signals Intelligence Field Support (DSFS).
The five-year contract, valued up to $175
million, will combine information from airborne, ground and
other systems.
"Gone are the days of planning daily sustainment operations
site-by-site. Now DSFS provides an enterprise support structure for
all sustainment operations, optimizing mission coverage with fewer
field engineers," said David Appel,
vice president, Defense and Civil Solutions for Raytheon
Intelligence & Space. "We're able to help ensure the highest
level of operational availability for the system, all while
reducing costs. With the open architecture baseline being declared
fully mission capable, we anticipate greater improvement in
analysts' efficiency and the ability to manage the availability of
the system for all sites."
Under the contract, RI&S will leverage its mission domain
knowledge to provide high mission availability in support of
end-to-end operations – from creating a mission plan for an
airborne sensor to receiving data, processing that data, and then
either producing a report, storing it or enhancing it by fusing it
with other data.
