NewsMay 06, 2021
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. Raytheon Intelligence & Space, a Raytheon Technologies business, announced it will provide signals intelligence field services for the U.S. Air Force's Distributed Common Ground System, which collects, processes, and analyzes intelligence.
According to the company, 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.
Under the contract, RI&S claims it 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.
